Greek View on the Soul and Immortality

Greek philosophy, particularly Plato's view, considers the soul as immortal and pre-existent, distinct from the body. In this view, the soul is self-contained and eternal, independent of sustenance or physical existence. Plato's ideas led to concepts like reincarnation, where the identical soul inhabits different bodies over various lifetimes, undergoing a cycle of forgetting and remembering.
