Here are three important but very different Dialogues from the Middle Period. Symposium, the most well-known in this collection, is concerned with the theme of love. In the house of Agathon, a group of friends - each very different in personality and background - meet to consider and discuss various kinds of love. Each one, Phaedrus, Pausanias, Eryximachus, Aristophanes (the playwright) and Agathon (a prize-winning tragic poet), presents his particular view in a short discourse until Socrates speaks at greater length. This would be the end except that, unexpectedly, Alcibiades (the vain general and controversial statesman) arrives, rather worse for drink, and makes his loud contribution with direct references to his personal relationship with Socrates. Symposium is an absorbing Dialogue, related, however, by one man - Apollodorus. It is read here by Hugh Ross.
Phaedo is a very different Dialogue. It contains the moving account of the last hours of Socrates. Condemned to death by the Athenian court for impiety and the corruption of youth, he has been ordered to commit suicide. Friends gather around him on this last day, but even at such a moment Socrates chooses to spend the time considering the nature of the soul, whether it is immortal and what may happen after death. It concludes with a description of his final moments.
In Theaetetus, Socrates engages with a young mathematician on the definition of knowledge, the examined life, and how the active life compares with the contemplative life.

Thanks so much for this! One question: Track 37 seems to be the beginning of the Theaetetus, and the first 36 tracks are the Symposium. So is there a second part coming with the rest of the Theaetetus and the Phaedo?
April 25th, 2019
@edcba54321: Part 12 - Beginning of Theaetetus; Part 25 - Beginning of Phaedo
Ignore the last track, it’s the same as Part 12. Must be some ripping issue.

Tanks keep em coming if you have them
April 25th, 2019
Got it; I was thinking how surprising it was that the Symposium was as long as that :) Thanks again Euripides! You’re the best!
