Symposium and The Phaedrus Paperback / softback

Edited by Professor Michael (University of Westminster UK) Wilson

Paperback / softback

Description

Regarded as both one of classical Greece's premiere philosophers and writers, Plato is of course still well-known today, although two of his best works, The Symposium and The Phaedrus, are perhaps not taught as often as some of his other, lesser works.

The reason? Both books are treatises on homosexuality, with the subject covered not only from Plato's restrained point of view but also from the point of view of those who consider the love of adolescent males the highest form of love and at least one person, Pausanias, who feels the greatest love is between males who are more mature and more equal in age.

This Watersgreen House Classics Edition contains artwork by Frederic Leighton...........Watersgreen House is an independent international book publisher with editorial staff in the UK and USA.

One of our aims at Watersgreen House is to showcase same-sex affection in works by important gay and bisexual authors in ways which were not possible at the time the books were originally published.

We also publish nonfiction, including textbooks, as well as contemporary fiction that is literary, unusual, and provocative. watersgreen.wix.com/watersgreenhouse
