    The "hides from the light because they do not want vanity" actually is a lot like Socrates' definition of a just man, his answer to the ring of gyges albeit belated. Of the tyrannical man:

    “they live their whole life without ever being friends of anyone, always one man’s master or another man’s slave. The tyrannic nature never has a taste of freedom or true friendship...... .......the best and most just man is happiest, and he is that man who is kingliest and is king of himself; while the worst and most unjust man is most wretched and he, in his turn, happens to be the one who, being most tyrannic, is most tyrant of himself and of the city..........whether or not in being such they escape the notice of all human beings and gods”
