I love listening to this while I follow along in the book, it's the best thing there is to help a dyslexic

Me too! Unfortunately I go to a classical liberal arts school (St. Johns) and so many of our texts don’t have this. It really sucks because this is a school where the way dyslexics or other learning disabilities thrive. You have a lot of what our freshmen read so I’ll definitely be passing this along to as many incoming freshman as I can. Could you possibly direct me to other channels that do this? Especially ones with classical works.

@@averylehr_ I go on the model. If the authors dead for awhile their book is probably in the public domain. So usually you can just look up the classical book and their is always an audiobook. Otherwise LibiVox recording does a lot of classical audiobooks, to answer you directly

Listened to this one on another bike ride, the best 30 miles of me life :) I would give anything to see Socrates having a dialogue with Jesus and Plato having a dialogue with Paul

There is a book very like this by Pierre Grimes. Socrates and Jesus discuss Plato and Paul

2:10:51 the story of Theuth discovering writing, then of Thamus explaining the limits of writing, is truly important to understand why Socrates never wrote anything, and why today’s “desk philosophers” have almost no character in the way Socrates did.

Thank you so much for uploading this! Following your voice with the script on the screen made it easy to finish in one go so I can now add 'Phaedrus' to the books I've 'read' :-)

Plato’s 4 divine Madnesses as gifts. From Apollo we get prophecy, from muses we get poetry, from Aphrodite we gain love and from Dionysus- the god of wine and theater we obtain mystic rites and relief from present hand ship.

Could someone explain to me what the "boy" means. At first it seems that the "boy" is simply another way of saying "beloved" or the "object of love." But then Socrates seems to shift the meaning of the boy to it being a sort of "celestial object of love" from what I can tell, a "heavenly beloved." Does anyone else get that from the text, I just want to make sure that is what is meant.

On a more serious note, as a person who is easily startled by loud sounds, (in other words, a ligyrophobe), I had to track down if the "musical people of Liguria" made awful noises. Turns out my phobia's name comes from the Greek "Ligyro," which means "sharp" in an acoustic sense. This region of the Italian peninsula, Liguria, has nothing to do with the fear of sudden loud noises.
