The Phaedo is one of Plato's Socratic dialogues, written around 360 BCE, which recounts the final hours of the philosopher Socrates before his execution by hemlock poisoning in Athens in 399 BCE. Set in Socrates' prison cell, the dialogue is narrated by Phaedo, a disciple of Socrates, to Echecrates, and it explores profound philosophical themes, particularly the immortality of the soul, the nature of death, and the pursuit of truth. Through discussions with his followers, including Simmias and Cebes, Socrates argues that the soul is eternal, using concepts like the theory of Forms and the cycle of opposites to support his view. The Phaedo is both a philosophical treatise and a dramatic portrayal of Socrates' calm acceptance of death, emphasizing his belief that a philosopher's life is preparation for the afterlife, where the soul can attain true knowledge.
