Did the phrase The Naked Truth come from Shakespeare?

The phrase "the naked truth" did not originate with William Shakespeare. While Shakespeare was a prolific writer and coined numerous phrases, "the naked truth" is a much older expression. Its origins can be traced back to ancient Greek philosophy and literature, particularly the works of Plato and Aristotle, who would juxtapose the concepts of "truth" and "appearance." The phrase gained wider recognition and usage over time and does not appear to be specifically attributed to any author or philosopher.
