Death and memory: the role of Plato's Phaedo in Athenaeus' Deipnosophists.

This chapter examines the ways in which Athenaeus makes use of Plato, pointing to links between his texts and the content of Plato's dialogues. This is linked to Middle Platonic teaching in the Imperial period, and used as a tool to explain the use Athenaeus makes of the Phaedo in particular.
