I do not know entirely myself, but this might help answer that syllabus question:
"In books II and III of the Republic, Socrates asserts that the stories told in his city must be censored before they are told to the citizens and guardians. Socrates finds stories in three main genres particularly problematic. These three genres are stories about the gods and heroes, the underworld of Hades, and stories about human beings. In this paper I will do four things. First, I will address Socrates' overarching argument for censorship: the impressionability of the general population and youths in particular. Then, I will describe the three genres of stories. After each description, I will address Socrates' argument for censoring that particular type of story. Finally, I will address the validity of Socrates' arguments. "
