Phaedrus.

The phrase "Things are not always as they seem" is commonly attributed to Phaedrus, a Roman fabulist and poet. It reflects the idea that appearances can be deceiving and that things may not always be what they initially appear to be.

Lawrence A. MacKinnon has written:

'The Phaedrus' -- subject(s): Immortality, Soul

In the Platonic dialogue, 'Phaedrus,' the relationship between Philosophy and myth is, as elsewhere in Plato's writings, a matter of 'end' and 'means.' Properly understood, Philosophy is that way of thought and of life by which human beings engage with reality as it truly is (and themselves as they truly are): it is thus the aim of those persons who understand the purpose of human life clearly, even while it is a kind of means in its own right. That being said, various helps can be utilized for this human engagement with reality: myth (or, story) is one of these.
