Personally, I prefer Plato’s Symposium on Love. One of the great pieces.

I studied classical Greek, but I’m too lazy to get the text and read the original, and my dictionary got lost. So instead I listen to videos explaining it while I do other stuff that’s not intellectually demanding. So this video’s tailor made for me.

I do enjoy Aristophanes, though. He’s very playful with the words, making up bizarre compounds.
