Socrates and Diotima: Sexuality, Religion, and the Nature of Divinity : Palgrave Macmillan : 9781137516015 : 1137516011 : 06 Aug 2015 : Few women's voices have survived from the antiquity period, but evidence shows that, especially in the area of religion, women were influential in Greek culture. Drawing on Socrates' Symposium , Nye advances this notion by not only exploring the original religious meaning of Diotima's teaching but also how that meaning has been lost throughout time.
