	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1999.05.23
		The first chapter, "The Banquet of the Seven Sages as Seriocomic Literature," constitutes a brief survey of the Seven Sages tradition in Greek literature prior to Plutarch, surveying the sophia exemplified by Thales, Bias, Pittacus, Solon, Chilon, Cleobulus and Anacharsis, the seven sages who appear at the banquet hosted by the tyrant Periander.
		Aesop is thus not one of the seven, and it remains unclear to what extent J.'s argument about "playful wisdom" depends upon Aesop's presence at this banquet, or whether J. would extend this concept to the general function of the Seven Sages as a cultural construct in ancient Greece.
		The banquet setting was already a commonplace of the philosophical tradition and is used elsewhere by Plutarch, as in his Quaestiones conviviales (which J. calls the "theoretical model for the Banquet of the Seven Sages" [30], although he does not discuss any of Plutarch's other symposiastic texts by way of comparison).
