Written in a conversational style embodied in dialogue and rich sensory detail, the text serves both as a cultural artifact and a philosophical treatise. The narrative unfolds in the form of discussions among notable figures about topics such as love, virtue, and the nature of happiness, reflecting the broader intellectual milieu of Classical Athens while juxtaposing the convivial atmosphere of the symposium with profound ethical considerations. Xenophon, a student of Socrates and a prominent historian and soldier, draws on his experiences and observations in the realm of politics and society to craft this work. His multifaceted backgroundincluding leadership in military campaigns and a keen interest in Socratic thinkingundoubtedly influenced his exploration of human relationships and societal norms within the framework of the symposium. Xenophons ability to seamlessly blend personal insight with a critique of contemporary social practices enriches our understanding of his perspectives. "Symposion" offers readers a rare glimpse into the philosophical conversations and social customs of ancient Greece. It is a compelling read for anyone interested in classical literature, philosophy, or the intricate balance between pleasure and morality, encouraging reflection on how these themes resonate within our own cultural contexts....2758359Symposion or The Banquet4545https://www.gandhi.com.mx/symposion-or-the-banquet-4064066468224/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2951029/7e029722-7df0-402d-9b77-01dd5dbfe312.jpg?v=638384674140700000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20214064066468224_W3siaWQiOiJkNDE0NzI2OC1jOGYxLTQzOWMtYjIwNi04NTdmOTNiOGFjOWQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMDNUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d4064066468224_Symposion or The Banquet by Xenophon (translated by H.
