Phaidros by Plato
QR code
"Phaidros" by Plato is a dialogue written around 370 BC. Socrates and Phaedrus meet outside Athens to discuss a speech about love. Their conversation spirals into deeper questions about rhetoric, the human soul, and divine inspiration. Through three contrasting speeches and the famous chariot allegory, they explore whether it's better to favor a lover or non-lover, while examining what makes persuasive speech truly effective and how desire shapes human nature.
