My favorite work of Plato is the Symposium. I haven't found a greater exposition of love in any other work of literature, with the exception of a few religious texts.

Plato, Aristotle and Homer... didn't enjoy stuff by Homer much. I don't know why a bothered. It was interesting I guess.

I have read the Oddysey great book. and parts of beowolf. Its important to also read contemporary literature as well as the classics.

I've read several of each of those listed and not listen in the polls from each author.

Personally, I've read the republic and the cave. Both were by Plato, I haven't read anything by Aristotle and I'm not sure Socrates was a particularly prolific writer.

I've read part of one of Aristotle's works, a long time ago though, so I hardly remember any of it. I have read the Oddysey by Homer, and it was good, but long and annoying.

The only philosophers I read are Thoreau, Emmerson and Kafka. Frankly, I find Ancient Greco-Roman philosopy boring. I'm aware of how influential, revolutionary and generally applicable it is...but I'm not one to read it.

I have most certainly played with the substance of Playdoh before.
