I know about Plato's theory that it is wrong. But still it's interesting to see what shapes he gave the different 4 particles. He just used the four more common figures of Greek arquitecture, cube, octohedron, tetrahedron, icosahedron and the supposed ether (his idea was very different to 19th century ether and to recent aether) as dodecahedron.
