Synopsis

Alcibiades II is a book written by an anonymous author. It is a philosophical dialogue that discusses the nature of love and desire. The main characters in the dialogue are Alcibiades and Socrates. Alcibiades is a young man who is in love with Socrates and wants to learn from him. Socrates, on the other hand, is trying to teach Alcibiades about the true nature of love and desire. Throughout the dialogue, they discuss various topics related to love and desire, including the difference between physical attraction and true love, the importance of self-control, and the role of beauty in relationships. They also discuss the concept of virtue and how it relates to love and desire. The book is written in a Socratic style, with the characters engaging in a back-and-forth dialogue that challenges their assumptions and beliefs. It is a thought-provoking book that explores the complexities of human relationships and the nature of love and desire.SOCRATES: Do you not imagine, then, that a man ought to be very careful, lest perchance without knowing it he implore great evils for himself, deeming that he is asking for good, especially if the Gods are in the mood to grant whatever he may request? There is the story of Oedipus, for instance, who prayed that his children might divide their inheritance between them by the sword: he did not, as he might have done, beg that his present evils might be averted, but called down new ones.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
