plato

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'greek' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'a plot translated' is the wordplay.
'translated' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'plot'='aplot'
'aplot' anagrammed gives 'PLATO'.

'into' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plato that I've seen before include "Ancient Athenian philosopher, pupil of Socrates" , "Moon crater named after Greek philosopher" , "Republic author" , "To pal up with Greek philosopher" , "Republican writer?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
