This work aims to analyze the non-divine nature of Eros in the Socratic discourse from the reading of Plato s Symposiun, a work in which the author focuses on the theme of love. It is a succession of compliments made by the present guests at the social event of the symposium, which ends describing the Athenian society. There are the lover of oratory, the general, the doctor, the comedian, the tragediography, among others, so that the construction of the philosophical discourse is generated of discourses that precede it.There is, therefore, a filter in which Socrates takes or not some aspects of his previous speeches to format his compliment. In order to reach this hypothesis, we begin by analyzing the Greek conception of love centered on the issue of pederasty; we investigate the various discourses that correspond to the various faces of love; and, finally, we reach the main point which is the non-divinity of Eros according to philosophy. Eros cannot be considered divine due to his philosophical nature. If the divine has knowledge and is perfect, then it is does not match the desire and the philosophical search to what it lacks. But, he is not mortal also: he emanates a force that influences the mortal. The exercise of philosophy is conditioned by the erotic exercise, the Eros that enables the activity of philosophy, the quest of a new perspective in common which stands before us, but on which we concentrate not to reflect and question. Eros kindles the flame of knowledge in the human soul, and without the will to know, philosophy is not.
