The Symposium

A night of celebration turns into a sparkling contest of wit, charm, and ideas.

In Xenophon’s The Symposium, listeners step into a lively Greek banquet where conversation becomes the main event. As the guests trade speeches and playful arguments, the dialogue explores love, desire, friendship, virtue, and the art of living well. The tone is bright and engaging, blending humor with philosophical reflection, and offering an inviting doorway into classical literature.

This classic work of ancient philosophy presents Socratic dialogue at its most human and approachable. Expect vivid social scenes, memorable voices, and a thoughtful look at how people present themselves in public, how they pursue happiness, and what makes admiration endure. Perfect for fans of Greek philosophy, Socrates, ancient Greece, and timeless conversations, this audiobook rewards both first time listeners and seasoned readers of the classics.

Press play and join the banquet.
