EROSS DIVINE MADNESS IN PLATO PHAEDRUS

The article shows the poetic expression of the platonic love in the Phaedrus, although it appeared in the Lisis and it had its festive manifestation in the Symposium. In the Fedro, in a full landscape of sensuality, Socrates listens to a erotic speech of Lysias and responds with another one, more perfect, defending a utilitarian vision of love. But, suddenly, the voice that speaks to him invites him to make a praise of the Eros, to that it describes in poetic pages like a divine madness that transforms the eyes and the heart of the lover and makes him fly until the joyful contemplation of the beauty of the loved good.
