Note 36 — PHÆDO, OR THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL. (continued 2)
Henry Cary translation
Harmony was the wife of Cadmus, the founder of Thebes; Socrates, therefore, compares his two Theban friends, Simmias and Cebes, with them, and says that having overcome Simmias, the advocate of Harmony, he must now deal with Cebes, who is represented by Cadmus.
