I believe, from my studies of Plato and his mentor Socrates, that the metaphysical theories put fourth by both, are far more literal in meaning than you have posted.

Are they? In what way? Did they not concerned themselves with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the world as it related to their thoughts? Where their thoughts of their own, or were they influenced by any spiritual realm?
