AB The paper attampts to select and interpret the passages in Plato's work that deal with the past and the possibility of its recognition. First I consider Plato's description of past epoches and then I try to put the dialogical setting of some dialogues into the historical context. After considering some possible interpretations of why there are discrepancies between the dialogues and the historical reports, I list the passages in which the influence of historiography on Plato's work could be found.
