The Myth of Er is a philosophical allegory found in Plato's dialogue "The Republic," specifically in the last part of the work. It is presented as a story told by a soldier named Er, who dies in battle but returns to life after experiencing a journey to the afterlife. During this journey, he witnesses the fate of souls after death and observes how they are judged based on their earthly lives.
