A Greek anthology of four “symposium” dialogues:
Πλάτωνος Συμπόσιον (Plato, Symposium)set at Agathon’s banquet, a series of speeches on Eros culminate in Diotima’s “ladder of love” and Alcibiades’ portrait of Socrates.
Ξενοφῶντος Συμπόσιον (Xenophon, Symposium) - Xenophon, Symposium – a livelier dinner at Callias’ house where Socrates and friends mix conversation, jokes, and moral lessons.
Πλουτάρχου Συμπόσιον Ἑπτὰ Σοφῶν (Plutarch, Dinner of the Seven Sages) – a convivial set-piece where the legendary wise men trade gnomic counsel and political wisdom.
Λουκιανοῦ Συμπόσιον ἢ Λαπίθαι (Lucian, The Carousal / The Lapiths) – a satirical “banquet gone wrong,” parodying philosophers as brawling Lapiths at a riotous feast.
