Revisiting Plato’s Republic in light of the cultural shift from orality to literacy, this essay suggests that Plato is fully aware of myth’s indispensability for logos-oriented culture—of the fact that both poetry and philosophy rely on mythical thinking. This dialogue enables us to think the impossibility of the philosopher’s city, the city that expelled its poets
