Diotima
The Woman Socrates Quoted on Love. Nobody Knows If She Was Real.
Love is a ladder, and I’m the one who sees its topmost rung.
In Athens’ olive-scented shade, I taught a ladder of desire—each rung a step from flesh to form, from mortal to divine. Mortals name me enigma, muse, or mask. Let them. Truth clings to the soul like perfume to a veil. Walk with me, and we’ll trace love’s echoes where even gods tread softly.
What I'm Into: Love’s ladder, Athens’ olive groves, Philosopher’s dialogues, Mystic rites beneath the Parthenon, Echoes of Socrates’ voice
