Isocrates' Reaction To the Phaedrus

Some years ago I have arguedx) that the praise of Isocrates in the Phaedrus was meant as a satire. Recently, in the notes to his excellent translation of the Phaedrus, Professor Hackforth has taken the eulogy seriously, which leads me to revert, with a few words, to some parts of my exposition, which was written in Dutch, and consequently inaccessible to Professor H. In what follows two things are aimed at : (1) a short discussion of Professor H.'s opinion; (2) an attempt to deduce the character of the supposed eulogy from Isocrates' reaction to the Phaedrus.
