So.

Who wants a clue about what Melitus is?

Well...

Names have meaning. People might be thrown off from finding it by it having been spelled in the less common manner.

I've found it spelled Meletus- one of the three accusers of Socrates, Mellitus- a Saint, and diabetes mellitus...most likely not the last one.

The first is the one. He was in fact the chief accuser.

Melitus is the Athenian poet who brought the charges and the sentence against Socrates.

One might be tempted to say that if you don't know where Socrates fits into the Matrix you probably weren't angling for the Philosophy Path.

But to keep it more direct... the painting...

Ok, just for those who don't engage about this kind of thing, Socratic ideas are one of two or three base pillars for the entire set-up for the Matrix, especially the whole 'Plato's Cave' thing (look it up).

Also bear in mind the painting.

But if it does not all seem to make sense then... well... good.

Plato's cave is quite famous I've had it explained to me 4 times in the last 3 years at uni. Storm's pretty knowledgeable on Socrates and Plato.

Well... nearly time to put this baby to bed, because soon the replacement will arrive.

Was Melitus some sort of judge or executioner?

The historical one or the AI?

Well, if you can make it fit...

But Melitus (historically) was a poet. He was chosen because he had the gift of oratory needed to turn the crowd against Socrates. Being a prosecutor was just the job he was given at the time.

You are carrying the allegory in the wrong direction. It's a bit like saying that if the Matrix is based on Socratic thought, why isn't it all in Greek?
