Φαίδρος
by Plato
Translated by K. Gounaris
"Φαίδρος" by Plato is a dialogue composed around 370 BC. Socrates and Phaedrus meet outside Athens to discuss love, rhetoric, and the nature of the human soul. Through three competing speeches, they explore whether it is better to favor a non-lover or a true lover, while examining how persuasion should be practiced. The conversation ranges from divine inspiration and madness to the famous chariot allegory, revealing deeper questions about reason, desire, and the art of speech-making.
