[PAR] [TLE] Symposium (Xenophon) [SEP] The Symposium (Greek: Συμπόσιον ) is a Socratic dialogue written by Xenophon in the late 360's B.C.  In it, Socrates and a few of his companions attend a symposium (a lighthearted dinner party at which Greek aristocrats could have discussions and enjoy entertainment) hosted by Kallias for the young man Autolykos.  Xenophon claims that he was present at the symposium, although this is disputed because he would have been too young to attend.  The dramatic date for the "Symposium" is 422 B.C. [PAR] [TLE] Socrates [SEP] Socrates ( ; Greek: Σωκράτης , "Sōkrátēs"; 470/469 – 399 BC) was a classical Greek (Athenian) philosopher credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy.  He is an enigmatic figure known chiefly through the accounts of classical writers, especially the writings of his students Plato and Xenophon and the plays of his contemporary Aristophanes.  Plato's dialogues are among the most comprehensive accounts of Socrates to survive from antiquity, though it is unclear the degree to which Socrates himself is "hidden behind his 'best disciple', Plato".
