A Plato ass move
Context: Plato’s conception of gods was that they couldn’t lie because they were actually necessarily good.and things that were wholly good have no reason to decieve. They don’t even shape shift!
In the Republic, Plato says we should rewrite myths so that this truth was pushed and not the slander of poets. Further we should restrict what poets can write in his ideal republic (though this is more of a metaphor for how to live a good life than a literal outline of his ideal republic, its still kinda shitty of him and I’m not really sure if there’s a better interpenetration).

This isn’t even real, that kitten was killed by God when I masturbated back in 1999.
