Posted by Dave on Wed Apr 11 20:42:51 2012, in response to Re: Support for Obamacare drops to historic lows, posted by Spider-Pig on Wed Apr 11 13:24:07 2012. The entire Passover Seder is based partly on a Greek symposium.While the seder resembles the Greek symposium in other ways, most importantly Socratic dialogue and learned discussion in the context of a festive meal (the symposium generally followed the meal), the rabbis stressed the differences between them because the symposium was associated with excessive drinking and licentious behavior. Many similarities between the seder and symposium (drinking wine, reclining, song) were characteristic of ancient banquets rather than unique to either of them, but these and other common practices (for example, dipping appetizers in a condiment) acquired special meaning in the Passover seder. |
