	Phaedrus - LoveToKnow 1911
		PHAEDRUS, Roman fabulist, was by birth a Macedonian and lived in the reigns of Augustus, Tiberius, Gaius and Claudius.
		From a literary point of view Phaedrus is inferior to Babrius, and to his own imitator, La Fontaine; he lacks the quiet picturesqueness and pathos of the former, and the exuberant vivacity and humour of the latter.
		In the middle ages Phaedrus exercised a considerable influence through the prose versions of his fables which were current, though his own works and even his name were forgotten.

	The Internet Classics Archive \| Phaedrus by Plato
		And this I owe to you, Phaedrus, for I observed you while reading to be in an ecstasy, and thinking that you are more experienced in these matters than I am, I followed your example, and, like you, my divine darling, I became inspired with a phrenzy.
		Your love of discourse, Phaedrus, is superhuman, simply marvellous, and I do not believe that there is any one of your contemporaries who has either made or in one way or another has compelled others to make an equal number of speeches.
		Only think, my good Phaedrus, what an utter want of delicacy was shown in the two discourses; I mean, in my own and in that which you recited out of the book.

	Phaedrus - Plato
		PHAEDRUS: I am fortunate in not having my sandals, and as you never have any, I think that we may go along the brook and cool our feet in the water; this will be the easiest way, and at midday and in the summer is far from being unpleasant.
		PHAEDRUS: Indeed, you are pleased to be merry.
		PHAEDRUS: They would say in reply that he is a madman or a pedant who fancies that he is a physician because he has read something in a book, or has stumbled on a prescription or two, although he has no real understanding of the art of medicine.

	Phaedrus (dialogue) - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Plato's Phaedrus is a dialogue between Socrates and Phaedrus.
		After some talk, Phaedrus reads aloud a speech written by Lysias on the subject of love.
		Lysias writes that a boy should have a relationship with a man who is not in love with him, as opposed to one who is. Socrates sarcastically praises the speech, and then composes one himself on the same subject.

	Phaedrus
		In the manner of so many great artists before him, Farnsworth is Phaedrus -- in the painting, that is. they are joined by deep links; they are both western animals and are as immutably transfixed within that unseen landscape to which they belong as are rocks and hills and canyons.
		PHAEDRUS is a creation which traces its lineage through history, through the Dutch animal painters, especially Paulus Potter, clear back to Egypt and to those dark caves at Altamira.
		Phaedrus is a holy animal who accepts his status with philosophical calm, because behind him on his right is his alter ego, the perfect foil to his studied calm and contentment, a Mr.

	Phaedrus Biography / Profile
		Phaedrus (FEE-druhs) was brought to Rome as a child or a young man, perhaps as a slave or a freedman of the emperor Augustus.
		Phaedrus translated Aesop’s fables from Greek prose into Latin poetry, wrote many of his own, and added some stories and jokes.
		Chiefly through the content of his works, not through their style, Phaedrus affected such authors as Seneca the Younger and Martial, as well as later fabulists such as Aulus Gellius and Avianus.

	Phaedrus - Introduction
		Phaedrus is captivated with the beauty of the periods, and wants to make Socrates say that nothing was or ever could be written better.
		Phaedrus is delighted at the prospect of having another speech, and promises that he will set up a golden statue of Socrates at Delphi, if he keeps his word.
		Phaedrus is afraid that he will lose conceit of Lysias, and that Lysias will be out of conceit with himself, and leave off making speeches, for the politicians have been deriding him.

	Phaedrus:
		Phaedrus was interested in the topic of eros and mentioned to his lover that love was not praised properly.
		Phaedrus does not naturally reflect on the speech, but repeats the speech aloud to himself in a monotone such as a cloud of cicadas.
		Phaedrus is self indulgent, a lover of the muses, a culture dabbler in rhetoric, materialistic physics and medicine, avant-garde literary movement, no aversion to the written word, utilitarianism in the ordinary sense of the term and materialistic.

	Plato on Rhetoric and Poetry (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		That is, the rhetoric of the great palinode is markedly “poetic.” Especially noteworthy for present purposes is the fact that the theme of inspiration is repeatedly invoked in the first half of the dialogue; poetic inspiration is explicitly discussed.
		The reader will immediately recall that the great speech (the palinode) in the first half of the Phaedrus was about the soul in its cosmic context — the soul's nature, its journeys divine and human, its longings, the objects of its longings, its failures and their consequences, were all part of the same story.
		The Phaedrus points to the interesting thought that all discourse is rhetorical, even when the speaker is simply trying to communicate the truth — indeed, true rhetoric is the art of communicating the truth (notice the broad sweep of the discussion of discourse at 277e5-278b4).

	The Phaedrus
		Socrates, who we may suppose is in some sense a "lover" of Phaedrus, is intrigued by the double possibility of bearing a speech and being with Phaedrus.
		Phaedrus challenges Socrates to compose a better speech and promises to erect golden statues at Delphi if the challenge can be met (235d).
		It is as if he had become possessed by the nymphs that Phaedrus had exposed him to in asking him to compose such a speech (241e).

	The Ancient fables - Aesop's and Phaedrus' fables
		Phaedrus, who lived between 15 B.C. and 50 A.D., is almost a stranger to us: it's only from his works that we can get the few pieces of information we have about him.
		In this period Phaedrus chose the protest, rather than the Prince adulation and the Fable became the instrument of his opposition, because those tales allow a dissenting but allusive expression, through allegory.
		During the Middle Age new elements were added to Phaedrus work, these features came from the ancient times and from the East or from the new living and learning conditions; the North of France was the centre of spread of the medieval fables, in the VII-XIV centuries.

		Orithyia and the Nereid nymphs are present throughout the geography of Phaedrus: perhaps she complements Pharmacia in the early stage of the dialogue.
		In the Phaedrus it is the city-state of Athens.
		Phaedrus tells Socrates that a handsome young boy was tempted by a nonlover, according to the speech by Lysias.

	Phaedrus 2
		The dramatic context of the dialogue is that the young man Phaedrus wants to know how to live his life, with particular regard to the place in it of eros, usually translated as ‘love’ but carrying associations of strong passions and loss of control.
		Phaedrus wants to get on: then let him form a liaison with an older man who, without being ‘in love’ with him with all the emotional turmoil and vicissitudes that might entail, will be in a position to promote his career.
		This is the spirit in which Socrates and Phaedrus move among different language games, including myth, dialectic, speculative anthropology as well as ‘philosophy’, their closeness to each other allowing them (Phaedrus especially) to make moves in languages which they would otherwise have feared and distrusted.

	20th WCP: Rhetoric, Paideia and the Phaedrus
		We recall that Phaedrus' response to the Palinode is 'principally aesthetic,...
		Socrates' effort succeeds in unchaining Phaedrus from his fixation on Lysias but, as Rutherford notes, the latter's response is couched in terms of admiration of the fineness of the speech rather than of its perfectionist aspirations.
		The comments Phaedrus finds so extraordinary are those that concern the conditions for learning; when later Socrates insists on the importance of the intellectual environment for 'living speech' one remembers both Phaedrus' earlier incomprehension and the inappropriateness of his aestheticising response to Socrates' second speech; perhaps the two go together.

	Plato: Phaedrus
		Plato's Phaedrus is a rich and enigmatic text that treats a range of important philosophical issues, including metaphysics, the philosophy of love, and the relation of language to reality, especially in regard to the practices of rhetoric and writing.
		Readers should be aware, however, that the positions outlined in the dialogue represent Plato's thought as much as that of his teacher and have become part of the philosophical tradition called Platonism.
		If you compare the Phaedrus with a text like the Poetics by Plato's student Aristotle, Plato's dialogue may seem to wander from topic to topic, although the issues Socrates and Phaedrus discuss are connected conceptually, as the Guide will indicate.

		Come out, fair children, and convince Phaedrus, who is the father of similar beauties, that he will never be able to speak about anything as he ought to speak unless he have a knowledge of philosophy.
		I cannot help feeling, Phaedrus, that writing is unfortunately like painting; for the creations of the painter have the attitude of life, and yet if you ask them a question they preserve a solemn silence.
		About Lysias, whom we censured, and his art of writing, and his discourses, and the rhetorical skill or want of skill which was shown in them-these are the questions which we sought to determine, and they brought us to this point.
