Episode: Plato's Symposium 2 - Agathon, Socrates, and Alcibiades: Millenia-old Love Triangle
Description: Professor Kozlowski completes his encomium of Plato's Symposium by discussing the lives of Socrates and Alcibiades: how their love affair may have endangered the whole of Athenian civilization, and how Plato concludes his dialogue with the blind praise of a poet, the wisdom of a mysterious woman teacher, and the obsession of a deranged young man.
