Discover that you are 2000 years old!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Plato's Symposium (Modern Library) (Hardcover)
This was the first book of Ancient Greece I read, when I was rather young. It was the great intellectual shock of my life (together with discovering that you could use mathematics to describe nature). I continue reading it every now and then. What stunned me then (and now!) is that you could perfectly enter that discussion (with your modern knowledge, that is) and take profit of it. They would welcome you, they were tolerant. An eminent Italian journalist, Augusto Guerriero, used to state: everything there was to say has been already said, and better, by the Greek. I couldn't agree more.
