1. Pheado
Set during the final hours before an eminent philosopher's execution, the work depicts a calm, measured conversation among friends in which he offers several philosophical arguments for the soul's immortality (including the cyclical argument, the theory of recollection, and the affinity argument), explains the Forms and the idea of philosophical purification, and models a detached, rational attitude toward death before accepting his fate.
