This paper shall tackle the question of self-knowledge in Plato's Phaedrus, focusing on its use of narrative (διηγήσις). Starting from the "syncoribantic narrative" (228a5-b4) in order to qualify Socrates' vague association between self-knowledge and knowledge of the other, it shall propose that the use of narratives to deal with the self sets up a mirror-like dinamic that does not limit itself to mere reflexion of the self, but is productive or transformative. After that, it shall consider Socrates' great narrative about the soul (246e4-56e2) in order to interpret the allegorical elaboration of said dinamic. In doing so, it shall delineate a conception of self-knowledge in which the self is only attainable through a cooperative effort with the other, that starts with narrative speech.
