- Plato, Symposium, translated by Benjamin Jowett. Read the speeches in sequence, including the frame and Alcibiades, rather than extracting only the ascent.
- Plato, Symposium, translated by Alexander Nehamas and Paul Woodruff. A modern English translation to compare with Jowett's older diction.
- Plato, Phaedrus. Another Platonic dialogue in which speeches about eros connect desire with the soul and philosophical education.
