Plato's Phaedo is one of the great dialogues of his middle period, along with the Republic and the Symposium. The Phaedo, which depicts the death of Socrates, is also Plato's seventh and last dialogue to detail the philosopher's final days (the first six being Theaetetus, Euthyphro, Sophist, Statesman, Apology, and Crito).In the dialogue, Socrates discusses the nature of the afterlife on his last day before being executed by drinking hemlock. Socrates has been imprisoned and sentenced to death by an Athenian jury for not believing in the gods of the state and for corrupting the youth of the city. The dialogue is told from the perspective of one of Socrates' students, Phaedo of Elis. Having been present at Socrates' death bed, Phaedo relates the dialogue from that day to Echecrates, a fellow philosopher. By engaging in dialectic with a group of Socrates' friends, including the Thebans Cebes and Simmias, Socrates explores various arguments for the soul's immortality in order to show that there is an afterlife in which the soul will dwell following death. Phaedo tells the story that following the discussion, he and the others were there to witness the death of Socrates. Source - Wikipedia

What an absolutley lovely voice. You have such genuine talent my man. A voice fitting for words many millennia old, as the quality of your tone emanates wisdom of centuries countless.
Thank you Sir....Completed the entire book only because of your narration

Plato's explanation of the immortality of the soul became a pilar of Christian theology from the time of Saint Augustine of Hippo to the present day.

How is it that this writing by Plato was supposidly written in 400 BC referencing debate on flat vs heliocentric earth when the heliocentric earth theory was not present in history until more than thousand years prior...editing of dates...and of course doctoring of Plato depiction without his rod with a time glass and mercury ball present.
Doctors are doctoring knowledge
Can you show me where it debates that? I didn’t catch it. I’ve wondered the same thing though.
What the fuck are you talking about
Copernicus created the first (semi-) workable mathematical heliocentric model in the 1500s; but he was not the originator of the idea. That was considerably more ancient - the idea of "fire at the center of the universe" had been proposed by Philolaus of Croton as early as the 5th century B.C. (Plato was executed in 399 B.C.): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliocentrism
