He was a philosopher and teacher.
In Greece of ancient times, many great philosophers existed. That did not mean that ordinary people did not also exist. Not all were Aristotles and Platos.
Homer was a poet and storyteller, not a philosopher - his role was entertainment.
Plato believed that a class of philosopher-kings, or guardians, should govern society. He argued that these individuals were the most rational and virtuous and therefore best suited to make decisions for the benefit of the entire community.
Plato believed that the role of a philosopher in society is to be a guardian or ruler, guiding society towards the pursuit of truth, wisdom, and justice. Philosophers, according to Plato, have the intellectual and moral insight to lead society in the right direction and should use their knowledge to guide others towards the ideal society.
