For starters, read the speech of Aristophanes (starts about 189), about
how each of the "split-aparts" longs for the type/one that he/she was
split from.

Also: the Symposium "references" are slippery, because they require
knowing the backgrounds of the characters. Phaedrus and his lover--both
participants in the drinking party, both depicted by Plato as authors of
rather self-serving encomia for ERWS--have a sexual relationship that
lasted some decades, and was quite famous in Athens.

I'll get the Philo reference the next time I'm at the library.
