THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME
Wise men of ancient Greece periodically held meetings and in these symposions they used to discuss, eat together and philosophize on various topics concerning society issues at the time. Symposions were a widespread tradition among ancient Greeks. Through these feasts, they acquired consciousness about their common origin and created some of the first powerful decision centres.
