Letter7: the
tyrant had succumbed to an all-consuming passion for the philoso-
phercombined with pathological jealousy of Dion’s friendship with
him. Plato washoweverable to go back to Athensthanks to a war
of which we know nothing.
Plutarch and the Sicilian tyrants191
Dionysius had promised Plato that he would recall Dionbut he
did nothing of the sort. At the same timethoughhe did not give up
the ambition
to surpass everyone in debate . Therefore he began to miss Plato
blaming himself for not having pro?ted from his presence and prop-
erly understood all the ?ne things he had said. And sincelike any
tyranthe was always at the mercy of his desires and ready to be
carried away by his various enthusiasmshe decided at once to send
for Plato again and made every effort to persuade the Pythagorean
Archytas to vouch for his good faith and to summon Plato. (Dion
18.4–5)
In Letter7Plato talks of his hesitations and of Archytas’ interven-
tion and his agreement to itand gives a lengthy account of the con-
ditions of his last stay in Syracuse.
