It is not the aim of this paper to investigate the myths which Plato invented, but to inquire into those which (in the attempt to interpret his works) were invented about him: claims which were attributed to him without being his own, and other beliefs which were held to be justified and supported by his claims. Two of these myths are analized with maior emphasis: first, that "Plato made the body an enemy of the soul"; second, that "Plato rejected sensible perception".
