Where in Plato's Republic does he talk about limbo?

Question: Where in Plato's Republic does he talk about limbo!?

I've been trying to find this passage for a while!.!.!.it was mentioned in another book I read ("The Warriors" by J!. Glenn Gray)!.!.!.apparently near the end of The Republic Plato talks about limbo as a "sad, laughable place" or something like that!. Anyone know the chapter/book where this is located!? I've been rifling through my copy of The Republic and the closest I've come is to the Myth of Er!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think you are right!. It's from the myth of Er: from the realm of the dead!. Listen to this:

"Then he beheld and saw on one side the souls departing at either opening of heaven and earth when sentence had been given on them; and at the two other openings other souls, some ascending out of the earth dusty and worn with travel, some descending out of heaven clean and bright!.

And arriving ever and anon they seemed to have come from a long journey, and they went forth with gladness into the meadow, where they encamped as at a festival; and those who knew one another embraced and conversed, the souls which came from earth curiously enquiring about the things above, and the souls which came from heaven about the things beneath!.

And they told one another of what had happened by the way, those from below weeping and sorrowing at the remembrance of the things which they had endured and seen in their journey beneath the earth (now the journey lasted a thousand years), while those from above were describing heavenly delights and visions of inconceivable beauty!."

This must surely be the "sad, laughable place," don't you think!? Some souls are glad, whilst others are sad!. The souls are in "Limbo" because they are waiting for to choose their next lives!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I believe that reference pertains to Dante's inferno where he places Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle in Limbo!. However, if it is in there it may be in book 10!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
