Phaedrus, a young student of rhetoric, gives the first speech. At the symposium (a Greek ritual banquet that includes libations to the gods, hymns, and drinking wine), Eryximachus, a doctor, proposes that they take turns giving speeches in praise (also called eulogies) of Love, or the god Eros. One day, Aristodemus says, he came upon Socrates, who invited him to a dinner party, or symposium, at tragic poet Agathon’s house. Apollodorus wasn’t at the party, but an acquaintance named Aristodemus, also Socrates’s disciple, was there, and he told Apollodorus all about what he saw and heard there. He tells his friend the story of a recent conversation with another friend, Glaucon, in which he told the story of a dinner party that had taken place more than a decade ago in Athens. A young man named Apollodorus, a disciple of Socrates, is walking along with an unnamed companion.
