The Phaedo is a famous dialogue by the Greek philosopher Plato.
The dialogue occurs in Socrates' cell, before he is to be executed by drinking hemlock. In it, he seeks to prove the immortality of the soul, the existence of the afterlife, and immorality of suicide, making the piece influential among Christian scholars.
