About This Book
In his celebrated masterpiece, Symposium, Plato imagines a high-society
dinner-party in Athens in 416 BC. The guests--including the comic poet
Aristophanes and Plato's mentor Socrates--each deliver a short speech in
praise of love. The sequence of dazzling speeches culminates in
Socrates' famous account of the views of Diotima, a prophetess who
taught him that love is our means of trying to attain goodness, and a
brilliant sketch of Socrates himself by a drunken Alcibiades, the most
popular and notorious Athenian of the time.
