The paper examines the notion of freedom of speech, or frankness, as analysed by Plutarch in his treatise on flattery. In addition to presenting it as one of the most important tokens of friendship, Plutarch discusses the concepts of free speech in the context of public discourse as well. His analysis and the contextualisation of his text are compared to the thesis of the parrhesia developed by Foucault, who does not read free (or frank) speech as a reversal of the flatterer's lack of frankness, but emphasises it instead as a defence against self-love, philautia.
