Note:"Plato's Lysis, Symposium, and Phaedrus were written at different periods of his long productive life, ranging from his early period to the late middle, roughly the late 390s/early 380s to the 370s BC. Although differing widely from each other in setting and approach, the works are grouped together here by virtue of their principal subject matter, a study of the relationship between two people known as love (eros) or friendship (philia). As with almost all of Plato's works, they are in dialogue form, the central character in all three being Socrates. They are set (one might say "staged") during the last period of Socrates' life, ca. 416-399"-- Provided by publisher.
