The aim of this book is to make Plutarch's Dialogue on Love
accessible to intermediate students of Greek. The running
vocabulary and grammatical commentary are meant to provide
everything necessary to read each page. The Dialogue on Love is a
great intermediate Greek text. Its discussion of the merits and
pitfalls of passion and desire is grounded in the philosophical
tradition reaching back to Plato's Symposium and Phaedrus, but
Plutarch's treatment of these themes includes a novel celebration
of marriage and the love of women, reinforced by the dramatic
setting and background action to the dialogue. It is thus a great
example of the imperial period of Greek literature, when figures
like Plutarch engaged in a lively dialogue with their classical
cultural heritage.
