Plato expressed a more in-depth view on love and the different types of relationships rather than Lysistrata. While Lysistrata focused mainly on the sexual connection between a man and a woman, The Symposium,  looked at the complex relationship between a man and a boy. It is also implied that love not only exists within humans, but also within music, or as a means of obtaining wisdom. Although both works express different views on love, it is evident that the relationship amongst men are held at a higher standard. In Pausanias’s speech, he differentiates between the two unions. He describes the relationship between a man and a woman was “Common Love” whilst a man and man relationship is described as “Heavenly Love”
