Landover Baptist Church: www.landoverbaptist.org Shelley's Translation of Plato's Symposium I am employed just now…in translating into my fainting and inefficient periods the divine eloquence of Plato's Symposium…Plato exhibits the rare union of close and subtle logic, with the Pythian enthusiam of poetry, melted by the splendor and harmony of his periods into one irresistible stream of musical impressions which hurry the persuasions onward, as in a breathless career. His language is that of an immortal spirit, rather than a man. Percy Bysshe Shelley—quoted (1818) in the foreword to his little known but newly-published translation of The Banquet (better known as The Symposium).

At least 14 people have been killed (in Iran) for sodomy or sexual deviation
since 1990, although their charges were often incorporated with other
allegations, such as espionage…Nassim, who works with Homan, elaborated
on the reality that gays in Iran must face. "If I tell someone in Iran that I am gay,
my family will not wait for the government to kill me, a member of my own family, with
almost 100 percent certainty, will kill me and no one will ask him why," he
said via e-mail. To Nassim, the Japanese government's position on Shayda's case
indicates "a typical Asian cultural view," and he condemned the passivity of
the Japanese government and its people regarding the struggle of Iranian
homosexuals for human rights.
