The symposium presents a set of cases for love. Different views of love are being expressed‚ in a variety of ways to think. In comparing Diotima’s influenced Socrates’ views on love and Pausanias’ views we find two completely different ways of thinking. Diotima seems to make a much stronger case and many would agree that she might have even just made the best case for love on the night.

Euripides’ play Hippolytus was written in 428 B.C.‚ and ever since it has been regarded as one of the great classical works.

bit sensual‚ I find the sculpture to portray the charms of Aphrodite as a goddess of love and beauty. I do not find this sculpture to be explicit as Aphrodite is not illustrated in such a manner.
