Naught is more hostile to a city than a despot; where he is, there are in the first place no laws common to all, but one man is tyrant, in whose keeping and in his alone the law resides, and in that case equality is at an end.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Naught is more hostile to a city than a despot; where he is, there are in the first place no laws common to all, but one man is tyrant, in whose keeping and in his alone the law resides, and in that case equality is at an end." in the context of "The Suppliants (tr. E. P. Coleridge, 1891)" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
