Summary: The Symposium and the Phaedo
Comment: These were a lot more interesting that I thought they would be. The Symposium recounts a debating party held at the home of a well-known poet of the times who was entertaining other well-known celebreties. All of those in attendence take turns flaunting their intellectual prowress by making speeches on love. The Phaedo presents a dicussion held in a prison cell where Socrates is being held shortly before his death. Accordingly immortality is the focus of the dicussion.

I find it interesting that although many things have changed over the centuries, many things also have remained the same. Mankind is still struggling to answer questions regarding immortality and sexuality. While we may have better scientific answers to many things in mordern society, we have't progressed very far in the psychological aspect of things.
