레슬링 선수
The Wrestler
플라톤은 소크라테스보다 약 30년 뒤에 아테네의 부유하고 유명한 가문에서 태어났다. 그의 집안은 도시에서 가장 오래된 가문에 속했고, 어머니 쪽 집안은 위대한 입법자 솔론까지 거슬러 올라갔다.
Plato was born in Athens, into a rich and famous family, about thirty years after Socrates. His family belonged to the oldest families of the city, and his mother’s family went back to Solon, the great lawgiver.
그의 본명은 아리스토클레스였다. “플라톤”은 별명이었는데, ‘넓다’는 뜻이었다. 사람들은 넓은 어깨와 튼튼한 몸 때문에 그런 이름이 붙었다고 말했다. 그는 레슬링 선수였고, 꽤 훌륭한 선수였다.
His real name was Aristocles. “Plato” was a nickname, and it means “broad”. People said that the name came from his broad shoulders and his strong body. He was a wrestler, and a good one.
젊은 시절에 그는 시와 희곡을 썼다. 뛰어난 머리와 훌륭한 가문을 지녀서 앞날은 탄탄해 보였다. 그러던 중 시장에서 못생긴 맨발의 남자를 만났고, 그의 인생은 완전히 바뀌었다.
As a young man he wrote poems and plays. He had a fine mind and a great name, and the future looked easy. Then he met an ugly, barefoot man in the market, and his life turned around.
