This study focus on Plato's point of view of death in his educational works. For the massacre
and great war against Persia, the Athenians had a tendency toward their way of life as
skepticism. It aroused the young people in Athens to live arrogantly and behave as their pleases.
Their attitudes infringed on a city-state(polis)'s law and constitution(nomoi) and let people in a
state of disorder. Plato concerned the youths of Athens for their positive attitude on rhetorics,
which could break the law and moral ethics maintained in city-state.
In Gorgias, Plato criticized sharply the sophists that made the youth of Athens
arrogant(hybris). Rhetorics, the basic skills the sophists teach for politicians, represented the
private education of aristocrat of Athens. to confute the effects of rhetorics, Plato designed
modeled educational city-state, the Politeia. It emphases the way of life(tropos) and the
justice(dik?), which makes the polis ordered and harmonized. Nomoi suggested the ground of the
existence of Gods. It is the basis of the law and constitutions which is the educational contents
for the people of Magnesia. And it comment the use of death penalty for those who were
arrogant seriously and believed in gods, which the standard of the moral obligations.
