First sentence: 'Phaedrus', Socrates' partner in the famous dialogue of the same name, is amazed by Socrates' proud acknowledgement that he is a citizen of Athens, but only a 'visitor' to its adjoining countryside, and although he promptly accuses him of living a life confined within the walls of the city, Socrates is not touched by this criticism.
