There are numerous evidence proving that the Platonic and Aristotelian
thoughts, even those of Socrates, are inspired by the Eastern, especially Persian,
thought. There are two reasons for this fact: First, the state of Greece at that
time and communication of the Greek with the East, especially frequent trips of
the Magi and Eastern clerics to Minor Asia, and those of the Greek scholars to
the East which paved the way for the acquaintance. Second, the sublime features
of Iranian ideal kings which were always the foundation of Iranian religious and
political thought. An ideal and just kingship has been a title whose necessary
virtues have had similarities with divine perfection. The present study insists on
the influence of the Ancient Iranian Ideal Kingship Theory on the Western
Philosophers, especially Plato.
