The symposium's role in transmitting and debating lyric poetry is important for understanding how elite culture circulated in archaic and classical Greece. Lyric poetry wasn't read privately; it was performed at drinking parties.
The Stoic logic of conditionals (if p then q; p; therefore q) was developed with a precision that wasn't matched in Western logic until the 19th century. Chrysippus is arguably the most important logician between Aristotle and Frege.

Gilead is a novel about a dying man's love for his son, filtered through fifty years of theology. No summary does it justice.
This is exactly what I needed to hear, thank you
The Graveyard Book by Gaiman owes something to Earthsea and I don't think people notice.
Your formal analysis is exactly right and it also explains why the film is so difficult to describe to friends.
I've recommended this film a hundred times and this post gives me the language to recommend it more effectively.
