3.0i learned a lot. even though this is actually fictional, i don‘t quite believe it. the way plato talked about the whole ambiente and the speeches just seemed too realistic. i loved the talks about eros, honoring the god of love. i loved how everyone tried to top the others. i loved how they tried to degrade women but the real answer about eros came from a woman. i loved how every greek had a love affair with another greek. and mostly, my love and admiration for the incredible socrates grew even more. he was just out of this world. i wish i met him. so, thank you plato for actually honoring socrates and sharing his wisdom with us.
