Master Class on "Plato's Leaky Myths: How the Erotic Dialogues use Plato's Literary Predecessors"
Nov 17, 2017
Back to Events
Registration Required. Open to current students and faculty.
This seminar will look at striking examples of how in the Symposium and Phaedrus Plato read and re-wrote the myths available in the literary culture of his time. We will be especially interested in how the literary templates that seem to underlie the dialogues complicate their surface "doctrine."
