The Allegory of the cave is an allegory used by the Greek philosopher Plato in The Republic. The Allegory of the cave is told and then interpreted by the character Socrates at the beginning of Book 7 (514a–520a). It is related to Plato's metaphor of the sun (507b–509c) and the analogy of the divided line (509d–513e). Allegories are summarized in the viewpoint of dialectic at the end of book VII and VIII (531d-534e).
