Plato's dialogues frequently criticize traditional Greek myth, yet Plato also integrates myth with his writing. Daniel S. Werner confronts this paradox through an in-depth analysis of Phaedrus, Plato's most mythical dialogue, arguing that it leads readers to participate in Plato's dialogues and to engage in a process of self-examination.
