		I said, "O thou stranger woman, thou sayest well; but, assuming Love to be such as you say, what is the use of him to men?" "That, Socrates," she replied, "I will attempt to unfold: of his nature and birth I have already spoken; and you acknowledge that love is of the beautiful.

	Symposium [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		"Symposium" is the Greek term for a drinking-party.
		The symposium must be distinguished from thedeipnon; for though drinking almost always followed a dinner-party, yet the former was regarded as entirely distinct from the latter, was regulated by different customs, and frequently received the addition of many guests who were not present at the dinner.
		The guests at a symposium reclined on couches, and were crowned with garlands of flowers.

	Plato's Symposium
		The Symposium is one of the foundational documents of Western culture and arguably the most profound analysis and celebration of love in the history of philosophy.
		In the case of The Symposium, the dialogue starts with the claims of Phaedrus (love enobles both lover and beloved) and Pausanias (there are at least two kinds or levels of love: sacred and profane) and never completely rejects them.
		It is surely one of the supreme ironies of the dialogue that Plato attributes its crowning insight to an absent woman (via her spokesperson Socrates) while gently ridiculing the prejudiced views and fitful half-truths of a party of drunken males.

	Amazon.com: The Symposium (Penguin Classics): Books: Plato,Christopher Gill (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Plato’s Symposium is the most literary of all his works and one which all students of classics are likely to want to read whether or not they are studying Plato’s philosophy.
		Throughout the Symposium, Plato makes it clear that sexual relations are not the best thing at all for 'lovers'; they who wish for the highest happiness must seek to grow in virtue and wisdom and become increasingly detached from earthly pleasures.
		Plato's "Symposium" is the story of Agathon's dinner party where conversation takes place with a small group of men, who recline, eat and drink around a table offering their views on Love.

	Amazon.com: Plato's Symposium: A Translation by Seth Benardete with Commentaries by Allan Bloom and Seth Benardete: ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Plato, Allan Bloom wrote, is "the most erotic of philosophers," and his Symposium is one of the greatest works on the nature of love ever written.
		The revelers give their views on the timeless topics of love and desire, all the while addressing many of the major themes of Platonic philosophy: the relationship of philosophy and poetry, the good, and the beautiful.
		This masterpiece of theatre and dialogue gives its readers the foundation for the question of desire and Benardete is precisely the kind of careful and precise translator who is capable of bringing out much of what lies hidden in the original Greek language.
