Question

Does anyone know where " the republic" by plato was written?

Answer 1

My best GUESS would be Athens. The Festival of Bendis is mentioned. That would have taken place in Thrace, so that's another possibility.

Answer 2

In Athens. Plato was a student of Socratees and "The Republic" is a conversation between Socratees and his students which was written down by Plato as a form of taking notes in class.

Answer 3

Plato was an Athenian.  He lived in Athens Greece.  He also traveled around and visited other scholars, such as Pythagoras who lived in Samos.  

He most likely wrote most of what we know from him in Athens.

Answer 4

Plato did some traveling in his time, however I believe it was written in Athens (in which city state, or 'polis', he had founded a philosophical school), after he'd returned from Sicily.

Also, dmaud56's division of Greek ages is incorrect. The 'Hellenistic' period follows from the 'Classical' (roughly 500-300 BC); the Hellenistic is named so because Alexander the Great's conquests spread Greek, or 'Hellenic' culture across the (then) known world (including the Near East, some parts of Africa), all the way to India.

Answer 5

Ancient Greece during the classical period.

I believe the ages of ancient Greece are divided, in order;

1)  Mycenean

2)  Hellenistic

3)  The Dark Ages (the catastrophe of 1200 B.C.)

4)  The Classical Period

5)  The Roman Period

6)  The Byzantine Period

I believe the Philosophers lived at the time of, and all major works of philosophy were written during the Classical Period.
