What character in 'The Lord of the Rings' has a connection with Plato?
Could you be asking about Gyges from Plato's 'Republic' who is very similar to the ring-bearer? If you find out let me know because I can't think of any! However, here's a GUESS that kinda sorta maybe works: Aragorn. The legend of Atlantis first appears in the writings of Plato. Numenor, another land where people had a great society that was overcome by the sea, is clearly based on Atlantis, so Aragorn, the Nuenorean we get to know best, might have a Plato connection.
