Plato's Allegory of the Cave
Plato is known for his allegory of the cave. In it, human beings are held prisoner in an underground den. They can only see through shadows cast by everyday items such as trees and dogs. If a prisoner managed to untie himself he would be confused about what was going on behind them. He'd then eventually find the sun which symbolizes complete truth.
