Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

According to both Plato and Socrates, as well as all ancient Greeks, at the time of their wars with Persia, the Greeks were free men because they were not controlled by other Greeks or Persian Tyrants!. They were "self controlled", by reason, and politically governed by Laws, rather than by personal rulers!.

Plato identifies ANTHROPOS (English = Man) as a rational animal, whereas Aristotle described "man/anthropos" as a political (or city building; Polis = City State) animal!.

Of course all of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, along with many other ancient Greeks, realized that there were such things as bad, lawless and tyrannical men!. But any good man or woman; ie "Anthropoid Animal"; was self governed by reason and also law abiding in his relations with other equal and "free" citizens!.

Thus, Aristotle wrote in his treatise entitled THE POLITICS that "man", when perfected by law and justice was the best of all animals, but when bereft of law and justice, "man" was the worst animal in all of creation!.

But "ideally" both law and reason "control" good or "wise" men according to all 3 ancient "Socratic" philosophers!. Good men do not "control" each other!. They try to persuade everyone to be friends as far as possible and, in other cases, to be just, reasonable and law abiding in their political relations with others who are not their friends!.
