Plato washoweverable to go back to Athensthanks to a war of which we know nothing. Plutarch and the Sicilian tyrants191 Dionysius had promised Plato that he would recall Dionbut he did nothing of the sort. At the same timethoughhe did not give up the ambition to surpass everyone in debate . Therefore he began to miss Plato blaming himself for not having pro?ted from his presence and prop- erly understood all the ?ne things he had said. And sincelike any tyranthe was always at the mercy of his desires and ready to be carried away by his various enthusiasmshe decided at once to send for Plato again and made every effort to persuade the Pythagorean Archytas to vouch for his good faith and to summon Plato. (Dion 18.4–5) In Letter7Plato talks of his hesitations and of Archytas’ interven- tion and his agreement to itand gives a lengthy account of the con- ditions of his last stay in Syracuse. 9 Plutarchon the other handreturns to his main subjectDionwho was preparing to land in Sicily.
