About the book
In his brilliant dialogue, Symposium, Plato presents an imaginary dinner-party set in Athens in 416 BC where the guests include Aristophanes, Socrates and the most popular Athenian of his day, golden boy Alcibiades. 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.

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.
