developments. Through the entirety of this somewhat informal and arguably flirtatious conversation between the Greek philosopher Socrates and the aspiring orator Phaedrus‚ I attempt to illustrate how Plato establishes his theory of a true art of rhetoric. The Phaedrus begins with Socrates encountering Phaedrus in Athens‚ where Phaedrus remarks that the famed rhetorician Lysias wrote a speech on favoring a relationship with a non-lover as opposed to a lover.
