Phaedrus page written that is basically a glorified stub containing a very basic summary of the Phaedrus dialogue. As such, although as yet lacking citations, notes, images, and other congenial embellishments that might raise its level of professionalism, the present content provides a basic skeleton from which to begin. -- [[Maria Cuervo]] 1 April 2011 23:40:00
