Phaedo

I propose, therefore, O Phaedo, that you propound someone statement which all you who have been discussing the matter believe.

They began to poke fun at me, and gave me to read Mendelssohn's Phaedo, which by chance lay on the table.

For example, Simmias may be said to have greatness and also smallness, because he is greater than Socrates and less than Phaedo.

The perplexity should not be forgotten by us when we attempt to submit the Phaedo of Plato to the requirements of logic.

And this is required by dramatic propriety; for the investigation of nature was expressly renounced by Socrates in the Phaedo.
