So much for enlightenment and the birth of modern civilization. Sounds more like central europe in the second quarter of the 20th century to me.

Well, Aristotle came not too long after. He had his own issues, but from what I've read, people took Aristotle more seriously. For instance, referring to The Philosopher meant Aristotle. Plato didn't enjoy a revival until relatively modern times.

The Greeks did do some good things. The Athenians apparently debated the morality of slavery, and were at one point on the verge of banning it, when a war intervened.

In The Open Society and its Enemies, Karl Popper expresses a dim view of Plato.

Indeed, Aristotle was better received by the Scholastics, who managed to integrate him in Christian theology. Yet Nietzsche thinks in fact of Plato (via Socrates) as Jesus avant la lettre as well as the one who, by means of what Nietzsche derogatorily calls Platonism, doomed western thought to a state of pathetic misery and guilt-laden introspection due to the fundamental dualism he introduced with the theory of Ideas. But Plato was primarily trying to bring to terms Parmenides with Heraclitus, although he clearly favored the absolute idealism of the former but had to acknowledge the radical relativism of the latter. Popper is too correct, if I may so say.
