The Phaedrus by Plato explores the nature of love and its relationship to rhetoric. This new edition features an introductory essay that provides context for the dialogue, as well as a commentary that elucidates the text and its philosophical objectives. A new Greek text is accompanied by a select textual apparatus, offering scholars and students alike a comprehensive understanding of the work. The commentary clarifies Plato's arguments about rhetoric and eros, providing insight into his style and the reception of the dialogue from its composition to the twentieth century. Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of ancient Greek literature and philosophy, this edition will also benefit those seeking an up-to-date account of how to understand the Phaedrus.
