This work explores themes of love and beauty through a series of speeches given by various characters during a banquet, highlighting the nature of Eros—the god of love. The dialogue features notable historical figures from Athens, including Socrates, Agathon, and Aristophanes, each contributing their perspectives on the complexities of love. The opening of "Pidot" introduces us to Apollodoros, who recounts a prior event involving a dinner party hosted by Agathon. Apollodoros explains how he was asked about the conversations that took place during the gathering, which revolved around discussions of love and Eros. He shares details, such as Socrates' notable absence at the beginning and the specific dynamics of the dinner, setting the stage for the philosophical debates to follow. As he narrates, it becomes clear that the impending speeches will delve into the different manifestations of love, suggesting a rich interplay of ideas among the guests that will unfold throughout the dialogue.
