Sign in to saveAlso known as Plat. Phaedo
Phaedo (; , Phaidōn) is a dialogue written by Plato, in which Socrates discusses the immortality of the soul and the nature of the afterlife with his friends in the hours leading up to his death. Socrates explores various arguments for the soul's immortality with the Pythagorean philosophers Simmias and Cebes of Thebes in order to show that there is an afterlife in which the soul will dwell following death. The dialogue concludes with a mythological narrative of the descent into Tartarus and an account of Socrates' execution.

Fédon (ou Fedão; em grego: Φαίδων, transl. Phaídon) é um dos grandes diálogos de Platão de seu período médio, juntamente com a A República e O Banquete. Fédon, que retrata a morte de Sócrates, também é o quarto e último diálogo de Platão a detalhar os últimos dias do filósofo depois das obras Eutífron, Apologia de Sócrates e Críton. O tema da obra Fédon é considerado ser a imortalidade da alma. O Fédon foi traduzido pela primeira vez do grego para o latim por Henry Aristippus em 1155.
