I see a further element of "Good" in Plato sending Aristotle outside the Academy in 347 BC. It is famously depicted in Raphael's "School of Athens" painting from 1511. The purpose is clearly given when the 80 year old Plato points up, and the 37 year old Aristotle points across. It was Aristotle's particular destiny to go into the outside world to discover something important. It is all related to the Prophecy of Isaiah, chapter 40, which states: "Make straight the way of the Lord; make His planes level".
All four Gospels prominently display this verse from Isaiah. Thus, both Plato and Aristotle in the pre-Christian era, performed their parts relative to the inevitable.
"The good" appears to plato to be a theoretical principal.
It is in fact revealed by christ to be a personal community.
What a funhouse mirror hall mortals live in without the assistance of the creator.
This is not a criticism of plato.
How could he have known?
Christ does not dissolve platos logic, he fulfill it in a way that turns it on its head.

also of note is that Plato prophesied the coming of Christ in the Allegory of the Cave, and that this world would revile him
