I agree with you at a certain level but people like Plato are tricky. The words he uses have multiple meanings and its up to the translator as to which one he chooses. For example, in ancient Greek, psychê means butterfly or soul or desire. Besides that singular example, many other nuances are lost in translation. Of course, not everyone is gonna be autistic about it like me.
