➻ THE SYMPOSIUM



We all know that Aphrodite is always accompanied by Love.

If there were only a single Aphrodite there would only be a single Love.

But since there are two Aphrodites there must be two Loves also.

And it cannot be denied that there are two goddesses.

One, older obviously, is the daughter of Uranus and had no mother, and we call her ''Heavenly Aphrodite''; the younger is the child of Zeus and Dione and we call her ''Common Aphrodite''.

It follows then that the Love who works with the latter Aphrodite should correctly be called ''Common Love'' and the other ''Heavenly Love''.
