From the Inside Flap
"By far the liveliest, most readable translation ever published of the Symposium—perhaps the liveliest, most readable translation of a Platonic dialogue ever printed."—John Patrick Lynch
"Much the best translation of the Symposium that I have ever read. In his ambition to avoid 'translator's English' Griffith has been completely successful. Nor has he sacrificed accuracy, even where he sacrifices literalness."—G. R. F. Ferrari
