  Cebes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cebes was the name of two Greek philosophers.
Cebes of Thebes, a disciple of Socrates and Philolaus.
He is one of the speakers in the Phaedo of Plato, in which he is represented as an earnest seeker after virtue and truth, keen in argument and cautious in decision.

 Phaedo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cebes asks on his behalf, why Socrates, "who never before wrote a line of poetry," is now in prison "turning Aesop's fables into verse" and also composing a hymn in honor of Apollo (Phaedo, 60d).
While the philosopher seeks always to rid himself of the body, and to focus solely on things concerning the soul, to commit suicide is prohibited as man is not sole possessor of his body.
Cebes would then, "...rather not rely on the argument from superior strength to prove the continued existence of the soul after death." (Phaedo, 87e-88a) Cebes continues that though the soul may outlast certain bodies, and so continue to exist after certain deaths, it may eventually grow so weak as to dissolve entirely at some point.

 The Internet Classics Archive | Phaedo by Plato
Very true, Simmias, said Cebes; that our soul existed before we were born was the first half of the argument, and this appears to have been proven; that the soul will exist after death as well as before birth is the other half of which the proof is still wanting, and has to be supplied.
Then reflect, Cebes: is not the conclusion of the whole matter this?-that the soul is in the very likeness of the divine, and immortal, and intelligible, and uniform, and indissoluble, and unchangeable; and the body is in the very likeness of the human, and mortal, and unintelligible, and multiform, and dissoluble, and changeable.
Never fear, Simmias and Cebes, that a soul which has been thus nurtured and has had these pursuits, will at her departure from the body be scattered and blown away by the winds and be nowhere and nothing.

 Phaedo, 84c–103b - The Death of Socrates - SparkNotes
Cebes grants Socrates the existence of such fundamental entities, and Socrates goes on to declare that anything manifesting a property like beauty does so inasmuch as it participates in the ideal Form of this property.
Cebes’ worry is simple: he accepts Socrates’ vision of the soul’s afterlife but feels it does not follow from the position that the soul must be immortal.
Cebes compares the soul’s situation to that of a tailor who outlasts several of his own coats though he himself is not immortal.

I cannot get rid of the feeling of the many to which Cebes was referring -- the feeling that when the man dies the soul may be scattered, and that this may be the end of her.
Cebes said that he had been wonderfully impressed by that part of the argument, and that his conviction remained unshaken.
Cebes said: You may proceed at once with the proof, as I readily grant you this.

Organized through a social-action group called CEBES (Ecclesiastical Base Communities of El Salvador), the objective of the caravan to El Salvador is to determine the local needs of the farmers, called campesinos, and to raise awareness of land reform issues in El Salvador and other Central American countries.
CEBES is trying to raise funds locally to help the campesinos make their payment deadline, which was to have been June 30 of this year.
CEBES cannot hope to raise funds for all of them, but is concentrating its energies on four co-operatives with approximately 1,000 members.

I think, said Simmias, that Cebes is satisfied: although he is the most incredulous of mortals, yet I believe that he is convinced of the existence of the psukhê before birth.
Very true, Simmias, said Cebes; that our psukhê existed before we were born was the first half of the argument, and this appears to have been proven; that the psukhê will exist after death as well as before birth is the other half of which the proof is still wanting, and has to be supplied.
Never fear, Simmias and Cebes, that a psukhê which has been thus nurtured and has had these pursuits, will at its departure from the body be scattered and blown away by the winds and be nowhere and nothing.

 Colloquium American Philological Association "Plato's Historical Characters"
My interpretation of Simmias' and Cebes' characters and philosophical standing within the dialogue's development is based upon a close reading of Phd 60e-62a and of the pythagorean motifs of the myth at the writing's end.
I claim that Simmias and Cebes can be better understood as "Platonic characters" if we take into consideration that throughout the dialogue they make their way from acusmatic school discipline to philosophical understanding in a free exchange of argument.
In that "mystagogical" perspective, the way to knowledge of Simmias and Cebes through the development of the dialogue, on a lesser level parallels the path to true philosophical fulfilment Socrates hopes to go as he dies.

 Plato's dialogues - Plan of the Phaedo
Yet, the history is the history of Socrates' logos, of the development of his mind and thoughts, whereas the lively myth is said to depict "the form of the earth (tèn idean tès gès)" (108e), a wording that cannot be fortuitous in such a context (5).
If Socrates is about to depart, Simmias and Cebes are not, and they must go back in the cave, in the world, and spread the "idea of the earth" that Socrates has put in their minds.
But, at the same time Plato creates some distance between the dialogue with Socrates and the story of it, he is careful to offset it : the very first words of the dialogues ascertain that the teller was an eyewitness to the event, even a participant to it.

 Plato's dialogues - Detailed Structure of the Phaedo's Introduction
It is the logos which brings memories to Cebes to move the discussion forward (60c9) by giving the logos a social dimension and making it a dialogos with Evenus and the outside world.
It is Cebes who indeed bring the "theory" to the fore, and he is quick to explain it to Simmias who has trouble remembering his "lesson".
And Cebes has already "bought" the story about recollection and the point is now to drive it home down to the lowest part of the soul.

 Phaedo, by Plato (phaedo)
I cannot get rid of the feeling of the many to which Cebes was referring—the feeling that when the man dies the soul will be dispersed, and that this may be the extinction of her.
Cebes answered with a smile: Then, Socrates, you must argue us out of our fears—and yet, strictly speaking, they are not our fears, but there is a child within us to whom death is a sort of hobgoblin; him too we must persuade not to be afraid when he is alone in the dark.
Cebes said that he had been wonderfully impressed by that part of the argument, and that his conviction remained absolutely unshaken.

 NovelGuide: Phaedo: Novel Summary: Summary
And Cebes thinks that what Socrates has said doesn’t make sense because the wise should always want to be with better people than himself so he can learn from them, as philosophers want to do.
Socrates then tries to defend his argument by showing Cebes and Simmias that if death is the separation of the soul from the body, the philosopher by being a philosopher seeks to have himself separated as much as possible from his body (because the body inhibits the mind).
This proves to Simmias and Cebes that the soul exists after death, and therefore the soul must be immortal.

 Plato: Phaedo
And in like manner, my dear Cebes, if all things which partook of life were to die, and after they were dead remained in the form of death, and did not come to life again, all would at last die, and nothing would be alive — how could this be otherwise?
I cannot get rid of the feeling of the many to which Cebes was referring — the feeling that when the man dies the soul may be scattered, and that this may be the end of her.
But that proof, Simmias and Cebes, has been already given, said Socrates, if you put the two arguments together — I mean this and the former one, in which we admitted that everything living is born of the dead.
