Lover of Cebes?
[edit]Any sources for that claim? Haiduc (talk) 22:25, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
- Can't find any real evidence for it. It was added by Max Bygraves on the 26 April 2007, who then added the same claim to the Cebes page on the 15 May 2007. It's not from Diogenes Laertius or the Suda. It might be based on a generous reading of Phaedo 73 d-e, where Socrates says:
Well, you know what happens to lovers when they see a lyre or a piece of clothing or any other private property of the lad they love; when they recognise the lyre, their minds conjure up a picture of the lad who owns it. That is recollection. In the same way the sight of Simmias often reminds one of Cebes.

- I've changed it for now so that they are friends not lovers. Singinglemon (talk) 23:23, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
