The Phaedrus, Lysis, and Protagoras of Plato is a collection of three dialogues written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. The first dialogue, Phaedrus, explores the nature of love and rhetoric, and features a discussion between Socrates and Phaedrus. The second dialogue, Lysis, focuses on the nature of friendship and features a discussion between Socrates and two young men, Lysis and Menexenus. The third dialogue, Protagoras, explores the nature of virtue and features a discussion between Socrates and the famous Sophist Protagoras. The dialogues are presented in the form of conversations between Socrates and various other characters, and are intended to be read as philosophical inquiries into the nature of truth, beauty, and goodness. The Phaedrus, Lysis, and Protagoras of Plato is considered to be a classic of Western philosophy, and has been studied and debated by scholars for centuries.
