[[Plato]]
1. [[Nous]] - the head, reason
2. [[Thumos]] - the chest, spirited part of the soul, trained emotions. This is what ties the man together to make man man.
3. [[Epithumia]] - the belly, where desires and passions lie
The nous cannot overcome the epithumia without the thumos.
- [[Phaedrus]] - Plato likens the chariot and charioteer with the three parts of the soul
- [[The New Republic]] - they’re like a creature made up of three different creatures.
