Aristophanes's Myth of Love

Aristophanes myth befits the comic poet plato has chosen to deliver it. Men who love men are split from a man man paring, whereas those who love women are split from an antrogenous paring. It also explains why, to put it in modern terms, some people are homosexual and others heterosexual. Aristophanes concludes by threatening that, if we do not respect love and the other gods, zeus may split us up again.
