Imitation of an imitation is used to describe art. Well what would Plato make of works of art that depict the gods? Above is a link to a drawing of Zeus, the Greek God of the sky, thunder and lightning and he is also the most important of all the other God's. What would Plato say of this? It is an imitation of the artist's concept of the god, does it hold the truth it was meant to or would he take a route similar to the Muslim beliefs where depicting Muhammad is not allowed.
thank you for reading!
