Plato recreates a banquet in Athens in 416 BC in which the guests, including the comic poet Aristophanes and Socrates, deliver speeches in praise of Eros. The account culminates in the teachings of Diotima, transmitted by Socrates, and in the arrival of Alcibiades, who offers a famous portrait of the philosopher.

For readers interested in classical philosophy and Plato's dialogues, with particular attention to ancient Greece.
Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher of Classical Athens who is most commonly considered the foundational thinker of the Western philosophical tradition. An innovator of the literary dialogue and dialectic forms, Plato influenced all the major areas of theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the collection of philosophical theories that would later become known as Platonism.
