Author of the "Symposium"

I believe the answer is:

plato

(Other definitions for plato that I've seen before include "Ancient Athenian philosopher, pupil of Socrates" , "Philosopher of ancient Greece" , "A plot (anag) (known to Aristotle?)" , "Teacher of Aristotle, pupil of Socrates" , "Republic author" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
