It is a discussion on the nature of love, taking the form of a series of speeches, both satirical and serious, given by a group of men at a symposium or drinking party at the house of the tragedian Agathon at Athens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Symposium was presumably composed around the same time as Plato's Republic and Phaedrus; with those two texts, it is often considered one of Plato's literary high points. Plato takes great care to make the setting realistic and the historical context credible. Although this may be far from its original purpose, the dialogue has been used as a source by historians exploring Athenian social history (particularly the symposium as an institution) and sexual behaviour.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor additional information on publishing your books on iPhone and iPad please visit www.AppsPublisher.com","brand":"Apps Publisher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176920760560,"sku":"2940012110565","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012110565_p0.jpg?v=1763552644","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012110565","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
