"Kallikles’ Symposium "[1] is a story by praxilla1. This was this writer’s first piece of fanfiction. The story focuses on one evening at a party. Lysis and Alexias have quarrelled and Lysis attends a party on his own, finding Phaedo there. It is set during the period when Phaedo is still a slave. The story explores their attraction for one another, Lysis’ decision not to act on it from loyalty to Alexias, and Phaedo’s hidden attraction to Lysis.
Comments by readers include:
- Liked the ending as it seemed in character for Lysis. Poor Phaedo. The first time he can choose for himself and is rejected.[2]—elfscribe5
- I thought the ending was exactly right - it keeps Lysis in character, tempted but not succumbing.[3]—keiliss
