The symposium was a social gathering in ancient Greece where participants drank wine, discussed, listened to music, played games, and exchanged ideas. It wasn't just a feast; it could include politics, philosophy, poetry, and social display.

Location: andron / symposium room. Central element: wine mixed with water.

Fun fact: Much of what we know about symposia comes from vase paintings and ancient texts.
