5 Essential Plato & Nietzsche Myths for Philosophy in the Classroom Grades 8-10

Myth is not philosophy, but philosophers often use myths! Introduce middle and high school kids to five fascinating philosophical myths.

I've combined five compelling myths from Greek Mythology, Plato, and the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche that I use in my middle and high school classes to infuse lessons with philosophy and ethics-based content.

With this bundle, you get:

• Athena and The Owl of Minerva (flies by night)
• The Myth of the Cave (from Plato) with student-facing slide deck
• The Myth of the Ring of Gyges (from Plato)
• The Myth of Er (from Plato)
• The Myth of the Demon (Nietzsche)
