Dramatizing a lively party in fifth-century B.C. Athens, the Symposium explores profound concepts of love through engaging after-dinner conversations.

These works are celebrated for their accessibility and enduring impact on Western thought, making them essential readings for anyone interested in philosophy and the complexities of human relationships.
