Güreşçi
The Wrestler
Platon, Sokrates’ten yaklaşık otuz yıl sonra, zengin ve ünlü bir ailenin çocuğu olarak Atina’da doğdu. Ailesi şehrin en eski ailelerindendi ve annesinin soyu büyük yasa koyucu Solon’a kadar uzanıyordu.
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.
Gerçek adı Aristokles’ti. “Platon” bir takma addı ve “geniş” anlamına geliyordu. İnsanlar bu adın onun geniş omuzlarından ve güçlü vücudundan geldiğini söylerdi. O bir güreşçiydi, hem de iyi bir güreşçiydi.
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.
Genç bir adamken şiirler ve oyunlar yazdı. Keskin bir zekâsı ve büyük bir adı vardı; gelecek de parlak görünüyordu. Sonra pazarda çirkin, çıplak ayaklı bir adamla karşılaştı ve hayatı tamamen değişti.
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.
