A Hitherto Unremarked Pun in the Phaedrus

Apeiron 15 (2):115-116 (1981)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The author discusses a previously unremarked pun in which the plane tree (ho platanos) under which the conversation takes place echoes the name Plato, and hence there is the strong suggestion that the conversation in the Phaedrus is particularly close to Plato's own opinion.
