The classic Socratic dialogue, "The Symposium," is about a dinner party with Socrates talking to a group of people, leading to a discussion that touches on several topics. Through this work, Xenophon teaches readers about Socrates' philosophy. The main themes include beauty and passion, wisdom, integrity, and laughter, which are prompted by Philippos, the jester, and the witty discourse of the dinner guests.
