I see the parable of the cave as a basic philosophical mistake that has had many bad consequences over the past couple millennia. Beautiful ideas, but ultimately a deep mistake.

Audible has a dramatic reading of The Republic, which is fantastic. It's a bit pricey at $24.99, but, you could always join, get your free book, and then quit! (What would Plato say to this scheming??)
