Two intriguing dialogues of Plato that are certainly more entertaining than philosophical, Plato discusses the nature of friendship, truth, and love. Along with course jokes and forthright opinions on homosexuality, these two dialogues are a good source to have on your shelf to reference the less discussed ideas of Platonic thought.

Good stuff, makes me think.

Excellent translation and commentary! Good for an in-depth study of the dialogues.

I had no idea when I read this that I had Jowett's translation (and Jowett wouldn't have meant much to me before Hellenism and Homosexuality in Victorian Oxford: American Thought and Culture in the 1960s). I read this on my own time, which seems like a strange thing to do, but given its influence on my thesis project later in life it makes sense, rather, that I would.

EL BANQUETE: me encantó aunque no estoy de acuerdo con la mayoría de cosas expuestas skadhkas además me reí un rato con alguna intervención.
Anyways, el final es digno de un fanfic de ao3

Socrates knows no more about love than you do BUT he will still gladly knock over your pretty sandcastles!

Just when you think you're done reading Plato, he finds a way back to you
