Summary

What if the pursuit of virtue could begin with wine, laughter, and friendship? 
In Symposium, Xenophon presents a charming and insightful dialogue that captures Socrates at his most human—participating in a banquet of ideas, jest, and gentle philosophy. This modern translation revives the lively spirit of the Athenian dinner party, where each guest reflects on love, excellence, and personal virtue. 
What you’ll discover inside: 
•	A vibrant and humorous dialogue of Socrates and his companions 
•	Unique speeches on love, self-discipline, and moral character 
•	An engaging counterpart to Plato’s Symposium, rooted in everyday life 
•	A refreshing modern translation that brings classical Athens to life 
Join the conversation—and see how wisdom can arise from celebration.
