In Plato's Phaedrus, Socrates and the young Phaedrus walk out beyond the walls of Athens and sit by the river Ilissus to discuss a speech about love. The conversation turns into some of Plato's most beautiful passages, including the myth of the soul as a charioteer with two horses, and a famous discussion of whether writing harms memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout this leather-bound edition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur binders work each cover by hand: genuine leather is fitted over firm boards, the spine is lettered in gold-tone foil and finished with traditional decorative detail.
