Set in the idyllic countryside outside Athens, the 'Phaedrus' is a dialogue between the philosopher Socrates and his friend Phaedrus, inspired by a clumsy speech by the writer Lysias on the nature of love. Their conversation develops into a wide-ranging discussion on subjects such as the pursuit of beauty.
