Symposium
Symposium
Author: Plato, Alexander Nehamas (Translator), Paul Woodruff (Translator)
This new translation of Plato's dialogue on love avoids the cumbersome locutions of Victorian versions and presents Plato's ancient drinking party in a vigorous contemporary idiom. The character of Socrates emerges with unexpected wit and humor, adding new dimensions to his familiar irony.
