by Plato. A dialogue on the nature of love, in a translation by Tom Griffith. "Friends of the tragic poet Agathon celebrate his success at the drama festival. After the carousals, a few exhausted intimates dine together again the following night and decide to entertain themselves with talk rather than drink. The subject is
Eros, and the lively evening develops into a series of brilliant speeches in praise of the god of love".
