Axiochus
Ἀξίοχος
Socrates comforts the aged Axiochus, terrified of death, with arguments of diverse origin: death concerns neither the living nor the dead, life is a succession of sorrows, and the immortal soul awaits a happy destiny, according to a myth of the magus Gobryas. It was widely read in the Renaissance as a consolation.
