Phaedrus
(
*Fai=dros).
1. An Athenian, the son of Pythocles, of the deme Myrrhinus (Plat.
Phaedr. p. 244).
He was a friend of Plato (
D. L. 3.29), by whom he is introduced in the
Phaedrus and the
Convivium.It appears from these that he was a great admirer of Lysias and the other rhetoricians of his age. (Fabric.
Bibl. Graec. vol. ii. p. 717.)
