The name Plato was a nickname, the word translates into broad. This name was given to him by his wrestling coach. Some people take this to mean he was fat, some people take to to mean he had a wide frame.

I mean there is a style of wrestling called greco-roman to this day, I doubt it was a bunch of fatasses. Also in The Republic he makes a big deal about how men should be physically fit, but you know, Greeks. So make of that what you will.

The dictionary defines truth as the true or actual state of a matter, while defining honesty as being honourable in principles, intentions and actions. One can be truthful in what they say, but not honest in their intent. For example: "Do these jeans make me look fat?" "No, the jeans don't make you look fat!" (The responder is telling the truth, it's not the jeans that make the wearer look fat. But if they were being honest they would have replied, "No, the jeans don't make you look fat - it's just you that's fat!")
