Phaedrus Phaedrus / PHAEDRUS / INTRODUCTION.; lines 154-206 confidence: high
All soul is immortal and source of motion; its form is figured as a charioteer with a pair of winged steeds; divine steeds are immortal, while the human pair includes one mortal and one immortal; the immortal soul soars heavenward and the mortal drops plumes to earth.
All soul is described as immortal and as the source of motion in herself and in others.
