Er was told to sit and watch the proceedings of the court, for he was to return to life and tell living men his story. The just souls were directed to take the right-hand chasm leading into heaven the unjust souls were condemned to the left-hand chasm down into the earth. Between the chasms and between heaven and earth sit judges who pass judgment on the souls of men who come before their court. After Er's soul left his body, it traveled with other souls to a wonderful place where there are two chasms in the earth and two above them in the sky. Ten days after his death, his body is taken home and laid on the funeral pyre, but there Er comes back to life and tells the story of his adventure. Er is a brave soldier who dies in battle. Part of Er's fate is that he will tell men yet alive his story of life after death.
