About PHAEDRUS
The Phaedrus was most likely written about the same time as Plato's Republic and Symposium, around 370 BCE. Despite the fact that the debate is purportedly about love, it is actually about the art of rhetoric and how it should be done, and it touches on topics as disparate as metempsychosis (the Greek tradition of reincarnation) and sensual love. The classic Chariot Allegory, which depicts the human soul as a charioteer, a good horse moving upward to the divine, and a bad horse tending downhill to material manifestation, is one of the dialogue's core passages.
