Works in this volume explore the relationship between two people known as love (eros) or friendship (philia). In Lysis, Socrates meets two young men at a wrestling school; in Symposium, he joins a company of accomplished men at a drinking party; and in Phaedrus, experimental speeches about love lead to a discussion of rhetoric.Publisher: Harvard University PressAuthor(s): PlatoNumber of pages: 592Collection: Loeb Classical LibraryPublication date: 2022Dimensions: 116 x 169 x 33Cover type: Hardback
