Why do you think Plato (or anyone else) would want to censor Hesiod?
I think that Plato would want to censor Hesiod because they had different beliefs and didn't want conflict.
a. What are Homer and Hesiod guilty of?
Homer and Hesiod are guilty of misrepresenting the gods and heroes of their time.
b. What are the two main characteristics of “god” and what are the laws/principles of story telling based on those characteristics?
God is just and does only good. God doesn't not do unjustly/bad things.
4. Compare what you wrote in your personal reflection above (#1) with what Plato
wrote. How close were you to what Plato wrote?
My personal reflection was the same in the sence that they had different belifes, but Socates/Plato thought that Hesiod and Homer wrote untrue statments about god.
