No, Greek philosopher Plato did not invent hell. The concept of an afterlife and punishment for the wicked existed in various forms in ancient cultures, including Greek mythology. While Plato explored ideas about the soul and the afterlife in works like "The Republic," his views were philosophical rather than a literal invention of hell. The more defined notion of hell as a place of eternal punishment emerged later in religious contexts, particularly within Christianity.
