This paper gives a brief description of a software system which has been developed in order to facilitate the research that aims to reveal the relation between Plato and the Pythagoreans. There are evidence presented supporting the idea that the influence of the latter on the renowned philosopher impelled him to give a mathematical structure to his writings. The effort to explore such an underlying mathematical structure is complemented in many ways, with the assistance of a computerized tool which is briefly described here, along with some exemplary results from demonstrating the proposed methods of usage to a famous work of Plato, the Symposium.
