For second I thought this was a reenactment of Col. Kurtz's scenes from the end of Apocalypse Now. The horror. The horror. The horror... |

I think if he knew where his stolen ones were he would have them back by now and the person who stole them would have been justly rewarded. |

The most probable translation: που προσέχει τους φυλάξει It should translate as 'Who watches the watchmen' (or who guards the guardsmen) the pivital point in the classic graphic novel 'Watchmen' (now a film) almost. ;_) |

Actually, Plato was a Greek scholar who died in 347BC which was long before Latin was spoken in Ancient Rome, if I'm not mistaken, some 200 years later in fact. |

Actually, your quote is by the Roman poet Juvenal and not by Plato. That should explain why it is in Latin. The essential problem posed by this phrase was, however, was first used by Plato in his major work The Republic. Thought you'd like to know. |
