Humble Puck,

Mr Pink has read various translations of Plato's Republic and has seen the chapter referred to as "The Simile of the Cave" "The Metaphor" and the "Allegory"

He agrees that Allegory most closely translates the greek work transliterated here "Semkles" which might have led certain translators to use the inferior "Simile".
