In ancient Greek mythology and philosophy, a shepherd character or reference used in philosophical discussions about justice and power, most famously in Plato's Ring of Gyges narrative.
From Greek 'agelaios' (of a flock, gregarious). The name reflects the character's role as a shepherd in the famous allegory about power and morality in Plato's Republic.
Agelaius (or Gyges) was an invisible-ring-wearing shepherd whose story Plato used to argue that humans are only moral because they're afraid of getting caught—a 2,400-year-old argument about why people follow rules.
