Ancient Greek & Roman Editorial Review
The reception of "The Symposium" seems to be overwhelmingly positive in terms of its content, with readers finding it to be a great and meaningful Greek story that has aged well in the modern era. However, there are some complaints about the packaging and book quality. Some customers have mentioned receiving torn or damaged books, with one stating that the packaging was horrible. On the other hand, others have praised the quality of the book and the packaging it arrived in. In an editorial review, "The Symposium" is highly recommended for first-time readers as a timeless treatise on the nature of love. The book is described as fun but meaningful, and it is noted that the translation can at times seem overly simplistic and modern, potentially losing some of the antiquity and Platonic style. However, the introduction is praised as excellent and alone worth the price of the entire book.
