Alcibiades & Socrates in Symposium by Plato

Socrates refuses by saying he would be of no use to him (218e-219a).

Alcibiades compares Socrates to a statue of Silenus; the statue is ugly and hollow, and inside it is full of tiny golden statues of the gods (215a-b).

Socrates, alcibiades concludes, is unique in his ideas and accomplishments, unrivaled by any man from the past or present (221c); but be warned: Socrates may present himself as your lover, but before you know it you will have fallen in love with him.

alcibiades states that socrates is crazy about beautiful boys, following them around in a daze (216d).

But once I caught him when he was open like Silenus' statues, and I had a glimpse of the figures he keeps hidden within: they were so godlike -- so bright and beautiful, so utterly amazing -- that I no longer had a choice: I just had to do whatever he told me.

---Alcibiades

Symposium 216e-217a.

Alcibiades views Socrates as the only worthy lover he has ever had. He thinks Socrates is the best fit to help him become the best man he could be (218c-d).
