Plato’s Four Muses: The Phaedrus and the Poetics of Philosophy - Hellenic Studies Series
Andrea Capra
Andrea Capra reconstructs Plato’s authorial self-portrait through a fresh reading of the Phaedrus. Capra maintains that Socrates’s conversion to “demotic” music in the Phaedo closely parallels the Phaedrus and is apologetic in character, since Socrates was held responsible for dismissing traditional mousikê.
