At a memorable banquet in 416 BCE Athens, guests take turns delivering speeches about Eros, the god of love. Each speaker presents different theories about erotic love from their own perspective. The comic poet Aristophanes tells his famous myth of the spherical humans split in two. Sokrates shares wisdom from Diotima about a philosophical path ascending from physical beauty to absolute Beauty itself. The gathering ends unexpectedly when the drunken politician Alkibiades arrives to praise Sokrates rather than Eros. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
