Many elements of Gilead recall details from Plato's Republic. Gilead's social hierarchy of Commanders, Guardians, Marthas and Handmaids, for example, has similarities to Plato's social hierarchy of philosopher-guardians, auxiliary-guardians and producers. Both societies are also home to a state-based eugenics program, and see gymnasiums used as educational spaces in which women are socialized into new gender roles.[citation needed] Gilead's rulers legitimize their rule through the extensive use of propaganda, much as Plato's rulers ensure co-operation on the part of the public by propagating a noble lie.
