Συμπόσιον

Συμπόσιον Plato
173 Comp. You are the same as ever, Apollodorus,—always defaming your self and every one else! Your view, I take it, is that all men alike are miserable, save Socrates, and that your own plight is the worst. How you may have come by your title of crazy,His friend means: I expect you quite deserve your name of crazy fanatic (for your general absorption in philosophy), because your vehement censure of yourself and others suggests it to me. I do not know: though, of course, you are always like that in your way of speech—raging against yourself and everybody except Socrates.
173 Ap. My dear sir, obviously it must be a mere crazy aberration in me, to hold this opinion of myself and of you all!
173 Comp. It is waste of time, Apollodorus, to wrangle about such matters now. Come, without more ado, comply with our request and relate how the speeches went.
173 Ap. Well then, they were somewhat as follows,—but stay, I must try and tell you all in order from the beginning, just as my friend told it to me.
