What is it about?
Disagreements are central to philosophical discussions. This paper is an attempt to gain insight into Plato's theory of disagreement. I show that Plato supports epistemic modesty in the sense that we should not put more value to our beliefs than our epistemic peers'.

Why is it important?
A timely work aiming to relate ancient Greek philosophy to contemporary discussions in epistemology.
Perspectives
I hope this article makes people think that ancient Greek philosophy is still relevant today. I hope the readers are surprised to see the close connection between ancient and contemporary.
