The oration is on the level of the images and imaging because Aristophanes’ myth about Zeus splitting the genders in half is just a story of Aristophanes’ imagination. He does not provide any logos to prove that this story actually occurred. Without any logos to back up the myth, it remains an image making it fall on the level of images and imagination. However, this oration also falls on the level of the Forms because the concept of desire and attraction between human beings transcends all cultures and has been proven to remain permanent because human beings have been attracted to humans for centuries and this still holds till present
