| contents | A complementary observation to determine Phaedrus’ age in Plato’s Phaedrus Jonathan Lavilla De Lera Lengua y Literatura Plato lysias phaedrus socrates homoerotic love This paper deals with the problem of determining Phaedrus’ age in the eponymous dialogue. The vocatives ὦ νεανία and ὦ παῖ, in Pl. Phdr. 257c8 and 267c6, could suggest that Plato depicts him as a teenager. However, most scholars believe that Phaedrus is an adult and that the vocatives point at his passive and childish character. I will first summarize the evidence given for supporting the latter thesis. Then, I offer complementary evidence, showing that those vocatives mockingly compare his passiveness with that of a young beloved in a homoerotic context. 2021 artículo científico 0874-5498 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=321081232003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3210 Ágora.
