The article discusses the concept of Eros in the works of ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, as transmitted by his disciples Antisthenes, Aeschines, and Plato. The author highlights that erotic practices and metaphors played a significant role in Socrates' teachings and the works of his disciples at least partly for political reasons, particularly in the context of the accusations of politician Polycrates against the late general Alcibiades in the wake of Socrates' own trial and execution. He discusses a variety of related concepts of classical Greek philosophy, including παιδεία (paideia), ἀρετή (arete), and συνεῖναι (suneinai). |
