Our Other Half
Why is everyone searching for their other half? Grandpa Plato tells the story, based on the Symposium.
Once upon a time, people weren’t quite like us today, says Grandpa Plato.
Their bodies were round, and they had four legs and four arms. Their heads, which were also round, were actually one head with two faces, so they had four eyes and four ears! And everything else on their bodies was doubled too.
These early humans were so strong that the gods were a little scared of them. So they decided to cut them in half!
Since then, everyone has been searching for their other half.
Part of the series “The Ancient Greeks for Kids” (Kaktos Kids): great myths, fables, philosophy and drama of ancient Greece, retold for young readers.
