The king's Ethic versus the wretch's ethics

The one formal Ethic of the king is to obey his laws or else be destroyed; meanwhile, the informal ethics of the wretch are those techniques she had to utilized order to raise her offspring to the level of a king.  In other words, matters pertaining to what is the law and what are ethics reside upon opposite ends of a spectrum.  To keep the people confused as to which is which, the line has been kept blurred between what is the one Ethic pertaining to the king's law and what are those ethics which have been learned by the wretch as a result of survival.

What I am suggesting here is that the ancient Greek philosophers were behaving subversive in their considerations of many of the topics seeming accepted today such as ethics, physics, and metaphysics as, during that time, they were always careful to operate below the conscience of the watchful eye of those in authority.  Indeed, as I have already argued in my Chinese eight legged essay, the offspring of the ruling monarchy during that early time were considered rational by born entitlement.  The king and those in the royal family were always considered right or else.
