PHAEDO By Plato Translated by Benjamin Jowett INTRODUCTION.

After an interval of some months or years, and at Phlius, a town of Peloponnesus, the tale of the last hours of Socrates is narrated to Echecrates and other Phliasians by Phaedo the 'beloved disciple.'

The Dialogue necessarily takes the form of a narrative, because Socrates has to be described acting as well as speaking.
