Saint Methodius (of Olympus)

Methodius (Olympius)

The Symposium, or Banquet, is a dialogue in imitation of Plato, written by Methodius, a teacher and probably a bishop, who flourished in Lycia during the period known as the Little Peace of the Church. It is perhaps the most beautiful symbolic prose-poem of the early patristic period.
