It's all in the translation. What's with the old English spellings? I assume Plato wrote in Greek.

Lots of times people quote old translations...they are in the public domain.

I’m raising an eyebrow on the quote over the “seven deadly sins” line....that’s a typically Christian saying and I dunno if the Greeks had anything similar.
