According to Olympiodorus and Proclus , Plato sometimes substitutes philosophical stories for the offensive myths of the poets, because his stories are inoffensive for the young. Nonetheless, properly understood, the myths can facilitate either moral virtue or, for a few, mystical experience. Simplicius suggests that after his proofs (apodeixeis), Plato expounds myths, as Aristotle appeals to traditional beliefs, in order to strengthen conviction (pistis) in what he has proved, in Cael. 370,1-16. For yet another Neoplatonist treatment of myths (fabulae), see Macrobius Commentary on the Dream of Scipio Book 1, 2. [SorabjiPC3 :52]
