	Agathon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pausanias followed Agathon to the court of Archelaus, king of Macedonia, who was recruiting playwrights.
		His intimacy with Aristophanes doubtless saved him from many well-deserved strictures, though in one of his comedies, the latter burlesques his flowery style, representing him as a delicate and effeminate youth, and it may be only for the sake of punning on his name that he makes Dionysus call him a noble poet.
		Agathon was a friend of Euripides, accompanying him to the court of Archelaus of Macedon, where he died about 402 BCE.

	Agathon
		Agathon is best known to us from what Plato says of him in his Symposium, describing the banquet given by the former in celebration of his tragic victory.
		He is introduced as a handsome young man, well dressed, of polished manners, courted by the fashion, wealth and wisdom of Athens, and dispensing hospitality with ease and refinement.
		Agathon was a friend of Euripides, accompanying him to the court of Archelaus of Macedon, where he died about 402 B.C. He had all the faults, without the genius, of his famous contemporary, and these he carried to excess, attempting to surprise the spectators with unexpected developments and strange, improbable dénouments.

		Are you ignorant that for many years Agathon has not resided at Athens; and not three have elapsed since I became acquainted with Socrates, and have made it my daily business to know all that he says and does.
		Welcome, Aristodemus, said Agathon, as soon as he appeared-you are just in time to sup with us; if you come on any other matter put it off, and make one of us, as I was looking for you yesterday and meant to have asked you, if I could have found you.
		When Agathon had done speaking, Aristodemus said that there was a general cheer; the young man was thought to have spoken in a manner worthy of himself, and of the god.

	THE TREATMENT OF POETRY IN THE SYMPOSIUM OF PLATO
		Before reaching Agathon's house, moreover, Socrates shows his deeper relation to it when he falls into a meditative trance on a neighbouring porch; in light of the whole dialogue, Socrates presumably is contemplating the universal kalon.
		Agathon hopes, he says, that by touching Socrates he might benefit from the wisdom that he has just acquired in his contemplation.
		Agathon realizes that Socrates' seeming praise of his wisdom is more likely a sharp disparagement of it.

		Wherefore I say to you, Agathon, "Be no deceived by him; learn from me: and take warning, and do not be a fool and learn by experience, as the proverb says." When Alcibiades had finished, there was a laugh at his outspokenness; for he seemed to be still in love with Socrates.
		I believe you are right, said Agathon, and I am disposed to think that his intention in placing himself between you and me was only to divide us; but he shall gain nothing by that move; for I will go and lie on the couch next to you.
		Agathon arose in order that he might take his place on the couch by Socrates, when suddenly a band of revellers entered, and spoiled the order of the banquet.

		At the beginning of the dialogue, when Socrates is on his way to Agathon’s house he "retreat[s] to a neighbor’s porch and stands there, and when [Agathon] call[s] him, he is unwilling to come in" (236).
		Agathon says that Eros is soft, for " not upon the earth does he walk, nor even upon skulls (like Ate) which are hardly soft, but on the softest beings he walks and dwells" (256-7).
		Similarly, when Agathon finishes his speech, Socrates comments, "on reflecting that I myself should be unable to say anything nearly as beautiful, I almost ran off and was gone in shame – if I had any place to go" (259).

		Agathon erwiderte den Anblick dieses jungen Sklaven mit einer Aufmerksamkeit, in welcher ein angenehmes Erstaunen nach und nach sich bis zur Entzückung erhob.
		Agathon war noch zu sehr von allem demjenigen, was mit ihm vorgegangen war, eingenommen, als daß er auf das gegenwärtige aufmerksam sein konnte.
		Agathon fand nicht ratsam, sich in einen Wett-Streit einzulassen, wo er besorgen mußte, daß die Begierde, recht zu haben, die sich in der Hitze des Streites auch der Klügsten zu bemeistern pflegt, ihn zu gefährlichen Erörterungen führen könnte.

	Chocolate, peanuts, and Eros
		Alcibiades is a comic relief, but also an important parody on the account of Eros given by Agathon, first of all as he serves as a comic example of Agathon's claim that Eros conquers Ares.
		In this way, Agathon and Alcibiades sandwich Socrates and Diotima's account of Eros - and thereby provide an example of what Ess calls the "M and M peanut" structure of some of the Platonic dialogues.
		Especially as Diotima stands at the center of the dialogue, however, with her complementarity logic and an account of Eros that conjoins the bodily and the rational/spiritual, the passions with the intellectual, the feminine with the masculine...

		Agathon: "Under appropriate conditions of perfect competition, non-increasing returns, and the absence of externalities the market's decisions about the production and allocation of goods and services attain a point on the Pareto frontier.
		Agathon: "That means that the market system, in weighting utilities and adding them up, gives you a much lower utility than it gives Richard Cheney.
		Agathon: "But claiming that you don't care about distribution is implicitly saying that shifts in distribution are of no account--which can be true only if the social welfare function gives everybody a weight inversely proportional to their marginal utility of wealth."

		Given this behavior, it is not surprising that Agathon cannot imagine a circumstance in which he would find Aristodemus without Socrates.
		(2) On this point Halperin remarks, "If Aristodemus did deliver a speech about eros at Agathon’s party, he [or Apollodorus] seems to have forgotten it—a fact that is neatly obscured, in one of Plato’s most inspired bits of dramaturgy Aristophanes’; critically timed disruption of the original order of the speakers at the symposium" (114).
