* Phaedrus, Roman fabulist ( b. 15 BC )

In Book II, Quintilian sides with Plato ’ s assertion in the Phaedrus that the rhetorician must be just: “ In the Phaedrus, Plato makes it even clearer that the complete attainment of this art is even impossible without the knowledge of justice, an opinion in which I heartily concur " ( Quintilian 2. 15. 29 ).

* Phaedrus ( c. 15 BC – 50 AD ), fabulist

* Phaedrus of Pieria ( c. 15 BC – c. 50 AD ), fabulist

The love story of Rhadine made her supposed tomb on the island of Samos a pilgrimage site for star-crossed lovers in the time of Pausanias and Erato was linked again with love in Plato's Phaedrus ; nevertheless, even in the third century BCE, when Apollonius wrote, the Muses were not yet as inextricably linked to specific types of poetry as they became.

Near the beginning of the 18th century, a manuscript of Perotti ( 1430 – 1480 ), archbishop of Siponto ( Manfredonia, in Apulia ), was discovered at Parma containing sixty-four fables of Phaedrus, of which some thirty were previously unknown.

* 385 BC – Plato publishes Symposium in which Phaedrus, Eryixmachus, Aristophanes and other Greek intellectuals argue that love between males is the highest form, while sex with women is lustful and utilitarian.

Phaedrus attempted to explain lesbianism through a myth of his own making: Prometheus, coming home drunk from a party, had mistakenly exchanged the genitals of some women and some men – " Lust now enjoys perverted pleasure.

* Phaedrus, Roman fabulist ( d. AD 50 )

Late alterations carried out in the third century CE by the archon Phaedrus included the re-use of earlier Hadrianic reliefs, which were built into the front of the stage building.

This view of myths and their origin is criticised by Plato in the Phaedrus ( 229d ), in which Socrates says that this approach is the province of one who is " vehemently curious and laborious, and not entirely happy.

Badham published editions of Euripides, Helena and Iphigenia in Tauris ( 1851 ), Ion ( 1851 ); Plato's Philebus ( 1855, 1878 ); Laches and Eutzydemus ( 1865 ), Phaedrus ( 1851 ), Symposium ( 1866 ) and De Platonis Epistolis ( 1866 ).

As a scholar Thompson devoted his attention almost entirely to Plato ; and his Phaedrus ( 1868 ) and Gorgias ( 1871 ), with especially valuable introductions, remained as the standard English editions of these two dialogues for over forty years.

Since Pithou's edition in 1596 Phaedrus has been often edited and translated ; among the editions may be mentioned those of Burmann ( 1718 and 1727 ), Richard Bentley ( 1726 ), Schwabe ( 1806 ), Berger de Xivrey ( 1830 ), Johann Caspar von Orelli ( 1832 ), Franz Eyssenhardt ( 1867 ), L. Müller ( 1877 ), Rica ( 1885 ), and above all that of Louis Havet ( Paris, 1895 ).

( 1872 ); and especially the learned work of Leopold Hervieux, Les Fabulistes latins depuis le siècle d ' Auguste jusqu ' a la fin du Moyen Âge ( Paris, 1884 ), who gives the Latin texts of all the medieval imitators ( direct and indirect ) of Phaedrus, some of them being published for the first time.

In classical literature he was the first who made the world acquainted with the Fables of Phaedrus ( 1596 ); he also edited the Pervigilium Veneris ( 1587 ), and Satires of Juvenal and Persius ( 1585 ).

But Achilles fought bravely at the death of his lover Patroclus though he knew that the fight would bring his own death closer ; Phaedrus here takes Aeschylus to task for making Achilles the " lover " ( 180a ), claiming instead that Achilles was the beautiful, still-beardless, younger " beloved " of Patroclus and citing Homer in his support.

Pausanias, the legal expert of the group, begins by taking Phaedrus up on his chosen examples ( 180c ), asserting that the love that deserves attention is not the kind associated with Aphrodite Pandemos ( Aphrodite common to the whole city ) whose object may equally be a woman or a boy, but that of Aphrodite Urania ( Heavenly Aphrodite ), which " springs entirely from the male " and is " free from wantonness "; the object of this kind of love is not a child, but one who has begun to display intelligence and is close to growing a beard ( 181e ).

Plato, in his dialogue Phaedrus ( sections 246a-254e ), uses the Chariot Allegory to explain his view of the human soul.

With the exception of Aristophanes, all of Socrates ' named friends from the Symposium are in attendance: Eryximachus the doctor, and Phaedrus are there, and so are the lovers Pausanias and Agathon ( who is said to be a mere boy at this point ), and Alcibiades.

Anecdotally, the Roman fabulist Phaedrus attributes to Aesop a simple etiology for homosexuality, in Prometheus ' getting drunk while creating the first humans and misapplying the genitalia.

The largest, oldest known and most influential of the prose versions of Phaedrus is that which bears the name of an otherwise unknown fabulist named Romulus.

He admitted that he was directly influenced by Purchas's Pilgrimage, but there are additional strong literary connections to other works, including John Milton's Paradise Lost, Samuel Johnson's Rasselas, Chatterton's African Eclogues, William Bartram's Travels through North and South Carolina, Thomas Burnet's Sacred Theory of the Earth, Mary Wollstonecraft's A Short Residence in Sweden, Plato's Phaedrus and Ion, Maurice's The History of Hindostan, and Heliodorus's Aethiopian History.

Early rival classifications of Greek mythos by Euhemerus, Plato's Phaedrus, and Sallustius were developed by the neoplatonists and revived by Renaissance mythographers as in the Theologia mythologica ( 1532 ).

While Plato's condemnation of rhetoric is clear in the Gorgias, in the Phaedrus he suggests the possibility of a true art wherein rhetoric is based upon the knowledge produced by dialectic, and relies on a dialectically informed rhetoric to appeal to the main character: Phaedrus, to take up philosophy.

Many of these discussions are tied together by the story of the narrator's own past self, who is referred to in the third person as Phaedrus ( after Plato's dialogue ).

The first edition of the five books of Phaedrus was published by Pithou at Troyes in 1596 from a manuscript now in the possession of the Marquis of Rosanbo.

The first extensive translation of Aesop into Latin iambic trimeters was done by Phaedrus, a freedman of Caesar Augustus in the 1st century AD, although at least one fable had already been translated by the poet Ennius two centuries before and others are referred to in the work of Horace.

In the 20th century Ben E. Perry edited the Aesopic fables of Babrius and Phaedrus for the Loeb Classical Library and compiled a numbered index by type in 1952.

Olivia and Robert Temple's Penguin edition is titled The Complete Fables by Aesop ( 1998 ) but in fact many from Babrius, Phaedrus and other major ancient sources have been omitted.

English translations of 143 Greek verse fables by Babrius, 126 Latin verse fables by Phaedrus, 328 Greek fables not extant in Babrius, and 128 Latin fables not extant in Phaedrus ( including some medieval materials ) for a total of 725 fables.

Phaedrus opens by citing Hesiod, Acusilaus and Parmenides for the claim that Eros is the oldest of the gods, with no parents.

In the Phaedrus, Plato has Socrates examine a speech by Lysias to determine whether or not it is praiseworthy.

The Phaedrus (), written by Plato, is a dialogue between Plato's main protagonist, Socrates, and Phaedrus, an interlocutor in several dialogues.

Then begins the famous Chariot allegory, called by R. Hackworth the centrepiece of Phaedrus, and the famous and moving account of the vision, fall and incarnation of the soul.

Notable verse fabulists have included Aesop, Vishnu Sarma, Phaedrus, Marie de France, Robert Henryson, Biernat of Lublin, Jean de La Fontaine, Ignacy Krasicki, Félix María de Samaniego, Tomás de Iriarte, Ivan Krylov and Ambrose Bierce.

Plato's own articulation of realism regarding the existence of universals is expounded in his dialogue The Republic and elsewhere, notably in the Phaedo, the Phaedrus, the Meno and the Parmenides.

Plato's explores the problematic moral status of rhetoric twice: in Gorgias, a dialogue named for the famed Sophist, and in The Phaedrus, a dialogue best known for its commentary on love.

Plato ( 427-347 BC ) famously outlined the differences between true and false rhetoric in a number of dialogues ; particularly the Gorgias and Phaedrus wherein Plato disputes the sophistic notion that the art of persuasion ( the sophists ' art which he calls " rhetoric "), can exist independent of the art of dialectic.

There are myths and theories to the same effect in other dialogues, in the Chariot allegory of the Phaedrus, in the Meno, Timaeus and Laws.

* Phaedrus translates Aesop's fables, and composes some of his own.

Among the writers of the time who fell victim to the regime of Sejanus and its aftermath were the historians Aulus Cremutius Cordus, Velleius Paterculus and the poet Phaedrus.

Phaedrus was suspected of having alluded to Sejanus in his Fables, and received some unknown punishment short of death ( Cf.
