The Phaedrus (Greek Φα?δρο?) written by Plato is a dialogue between Plato s main protagonist Socrates and Phaedrus an interlocutor in several dialogues. The Phaedrus was presumably composed around 370 BC around the same time as Plato s Republic and Symposium with those two texts it is often considered one of Plato s literary high points. Although ostensibly about the topic of love the discussion in the dialogue revolves around the art of rhetoric and how it should be practiced and dwells on subjects as diverse as reincarnation and erotic love.
