1. Below is a summary of the story of Gyges in Plato’s book, Republic.

“Gyges is a shepherd who stumbles upon a ring that, at his command,

makes him invisible and while in that state, he can do anything
without getting caught. So he kills the king, seduces his wife, and
becomes king himself.”

Imagine you have the ring of Gyges, would you still do what is good and what is
right? Would you still act morally? Why should you, or not?
