What is love?
A powerful force that can transform a simple person into a hero?
A young and beautiful god, who has both madness and wisdom? A simple physical attraction that wants to be satisfied, or a transcendent and eternal union of the two lovers?
Is it the creation of the myth of the hermaphroditic beings, whom the gods envied and cut in half, and since then each one seeks their other half?
Is it, simply, a biological function of the human body?
Or a Daemon, an eternal mediator between mortals and immortals? In Plato's top work, the young poet Agathon, who won the prize at the Lenaia in 416 BC, invites various prominent Athenians to his house the next day, to celebrate with him: Aristodemus, Phaedrus, Agathon, Eryximachus, Pausanias, Alcibiades, Aristophanes, but also Socrates himself, eat, drink, and try to find answers.

Excellent work by Plato. Simple, understandable, accessible to all readers... Easy for someone "newcomer" to philosophy. The only difficulty in understanding may arise in the discussion between Diotima and Socrates... Overall, the work provides multiple answers to the fundamental question of... What is love... of course, in some points it does not give a clear answer as it wants to make the reader think and philosophize for themselves... In summary, it is one of Plato's masterpieces
