Symposium - or symposio as it was called in Greek - originally referred to a drinking party (from the Greek "sympotein" which means to drink together). It was a key Hellenic social institution in ancient times, where men would come together to debate, plot, boast or simply party with others. So it's a great name for this community - being based on a Greek food blog - but please, no plotting!! And also, this symposio is for everyone, not just men!
