A dialogue on the nature of love.

Friends of the tragic poet Agathon celebrate his success at the drama festival.
After the party, a few intimates dine together to talk rather than drink. The subject
is Eros. The evening develops into a series of speeches in praise of love.

This is the way to make Plato palatable.
