Ring of Gyges
Mythical magical artifact in Plato's Republic
Ring of Gyges
The Ring of Gyges (Ancient Greek: Γύγου δακτύλιος, Gúgou daktúlios, Attic Greek pronunciation: [ˈɡyːˌɡuː dakˈtylios]) is a hypothetical magic ring mentioned by the philosopher Plato in Book 2 of his Republic (2:359a–2:360d). It grants its owner the power to become invisible at will. Using the ring as an example, this section of the Republic considers whether a rational, intelligent person who has no need to fear negative consequences for committing an injustice would nevertheless act justly.
