The opening
Socrates. Dear Phaedrus, whither away, and where do you come from?
Phaedrus. From Lysias, Socrates, the son of Cephalus; and I am going for a walk outside the wall. For I spent a long time there with Lysias, sitting since early morning; and on the advice of your friend and mine, Acumenus, I am taking my walk on the roads; for he says they are less fatiguing than the streets.
Socrates. He is right, my friend. Then Lysias, it seems,was in the city?
Phaedrus. Yes, at Epicrates’ house, the one that belonged to Morychus, near the Olympieum.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
