Should I read The Symposium by Plato written by Christopher Gill?

i’m 16, about to enter my Junior year of high school. I love Greek mythology and the quote, “Originally humans were combined of 4 arms, 4 legs, and a single head made of 2 faces, but Zeus feared their power and split them all in half, condemning them to spending their lives searching for the other half to complete them. ” from Plato’s Symposium
but i wonder if this is too hard of a book for someone my age, and if i should wait longer to read it.

It’s not really a question of, “Am I old enough?” it’s, “Am I mature enough?” Sorry to give a generic answer, but it’s true. Unless you’re spending 50 bucks on the book, there isn’t much to lose, right? Go for it. You may love it. It may change your life. It could alter the way you look at man kind as a whole. Or you could hate it. =3 Either way, it’s worth a try.
