## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent translation.
*by J***Y on March 6, 2025*

The introduction and notes are the best. Robin Waterfowld is a master of clarity and of setting the appropriate context.

product as described

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good translation, good notes
*by P***A on April 13, 2014*

The Symposium is what it is: a classic of western culture. So, when one offers a review, it's not about the text itself (I think) but for the translation, presentation and notes. So: Wakefield's translation is the smoothest I've read of this great text. His modern English makes the homoerotic context of the dialogue clear, for one thing. I've taught this text to sleepy undergrads who were clueless about the terms "lover" and "beloved" in the speeches, assuming they were about a boy and a girl. But the notes are where Wakefield really shines. Wakefield gives not only a readable account of each of the speeches, a special discussion of love in Greek thought, and a literary analysis, but also a useful set of notes at the end. Over all, this is so much better than the tired British translations we used to read in college back in the old days.
