Socrates then turns to Agathon. Alcibiades - he says - must not be outdone. So be careful! That no one puts discord between you and me!
Agathon replies that are now clear to him the reasons for the attitude of Alcibiades, "separated from one another" (hina Chorisia Hemas dialábe). It is no coincidence? notes - that he was lying right between them (kateklíne hos en sou kai meso Emou you). But "will not have won"! And why not understood well, "now I come to lie next to you." Agathon is
disporsi to the right of Socrates. But Alcibiades resents. Given the new arrangements, in fact, Socrates now should be the praise of Agathon, and this, Alcibiades, I just never goes down. But Socrates quell'elogio of his new pupil wants to do right, and Agathon quell'elogio want your reception! Alcibiades
protest: "Look, we are the usual. When there is Socrates (Sokratous paróntos), it is possible for anyone (adýnaton to) enjoy handsome! (Ton kalon metalabeîn).
But Agathon is determined. So he gets up to go and lie down next to Socrates.
And yet ... there is also a eulogy.
