It depicts a friendly contest of extemporaneous speeches given by a group of notable men attending a banquet. The men include the philosopher Socrates, the general and political figure Alcibiades, and the comic playwright Aristophanes. The speeches are to be given in praise of Eros, the god of love and desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the \u003cem\u003eSymposium\u003c\/em\u003e, Eros is recognized both as erotic lover and as a phenomenon capable of inspiring courage, valor, great deeds and works, and vanquishing man's natural fear of death. It is seen as transcending its earthly origins and attaining spiritual heights. The extraordinary elevation of the concept of love raises a question of whether some of the most extreme extents of meaning might be intended as humor or farce. \u003cem\u003eEros\u003c\/em\u003e is almost always translated as \"love\", and the English word has its own varieties and ambiguities that provide additional challenges to the effort to understand the \u003cem\u003eEros\u003c\/em\u003e of ancient Athens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dialogue is one of Plato's major works, and is appreciated for both its philosophical content and its literary qualitie\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 74\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.15 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 24, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43153142939711,"sku":"9781774419847","price":20.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/q0wGIfwTHf9781774419847_68f10a7a-f003-4e7d-b815-e0f70a255c93.webp?v=1776944460","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/symposium-paperback-13","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
