The Ring of Gyges

A legendary ring from Plato's tales, granting the wearer the power of invisibility.

The Ring of Gyges is a mythical artifact from Plato's philosophical texts, which renders its wearer invisible. This ring raises questions about morality and justice when one is free from the consequences of their actions. Plato used the story of the ring to discuss whether an individual would be morally upright if they did not have to fear being caught and punished for their wrongdoings. The ring thus serves as a philosophical tool for examining human nature and the concept of justice.
