7/6/2023 0 Comments Aristophanes the symposium![]() ![]() ![]() The Symposium of Xenophon, in which Socrates describes himself as a pander, and also. Eryximachus is ready to do both, and after prescribing for the hiccough, speaks as follows. This lecture focuses specifically on the speech made by Aristophanes. The turn of Aristophanes comes next but he has the hiccough, and therefore proposes that Eryximachus the physician shall cure him or speak in his turn. This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's dialogue, the Symposium, one of the great works of literature from the ancient world, focused on the nature of love. One anomaly bears mention, however: although the articles by David Sedley and by Richard Kraut are of independent importance and to be recommended to the attention of all Plato scholars, they are only tangentially related to the Symposium. ![]()
