Talk:Magic ring

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Really no Greek magic rings?

Now that astute reader Ihcoyc has added the Ring of Gyges, from the writings of Plato. Good. But does that now invalidate the bald statement to the effect of "no magic rings in Greek mythology" or is it some kind of exception, because Plato used it as an alegory? If he was drawing on an earlier mythical story, then it's a Greek magic finger ring. If he made up a fantasy to make a philosophical point, then it might classify as "modern." Votes, anybody?
