Description: Symposium by Plato The Symposium is a philosophical text by Plato dated c. 385-370 BC. It concerns itself at one level with the genesis, purpose and nature of love, and (in latter-day interpretations) is the origin of the concept of Platonic love. Love is examined in a sequence of speeches by men attending a symposium, or drinking party. Each man must deliver an encomium, a speech in praise of Love . Plato’s meditation on passionate love, or the Greek eros, is both pivotal to our understanding of his wider philosophy and one of Ancient Greece's greatest and most beautiful literary triumphs.
