As well as Plato's philosophical intertwining’s with Georges Bataille's theory of eroticism among the pulsations favoring the erotic, life and death; continuity and discontinuity, having as a starting point for the interpretation of the myth of god Eros the tradition of the poet Hesiod in Theogonia. Thus, seeking to articulate the speeches of Plato's Symposium with the anthropological structures of Bataille's eroticism (2017 [1957]) among its ambiguous aspects.  Understanding the establishment of the sacred in human consciousness through a transcendence in relation to the world around it, there being the dichotomy of human behavior as opposed to the animality that Bataille approaches.
