The insights presented in the volume are many and wide-ranging,
recognizably in tune with the subtlest modern discussions of desire
(such as triangulation. or loving what others love), yet offering new
solutions to old problems, like the proper interpretation of Plato's
Phaedrus. On the frequently discussed effect of literacy on Greek
civilization, the book offers a fresh view: it was no accident that
the poets who invented Eros were also the first readers and writers of
the Western literate tradition. Originally published in 1986. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to
again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions
preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting
them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the
Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich
scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by
Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
