美涅克塞努篇
《美涅克塞努篇》 (希腊语:Μενέξενоς)是苏格拉底的哲学语录集(Σωκρατικὸς λόγος),由柏拉图记载。它与《大希庇亚斯》《小希庇亚斯》和《埃奥恩》一同构成第七四联剧。《美涅克塞努篇》是一篇长篇葬礼辞,讽刺了伯利克里在修昔底德为伯罗奔尼撒战争的辩解。其中的两个主角是苏格拉底和美涅克塞努,有关美涅克塞努的语录还记录在柏拉图的《吕西斯篇》和《斐多篇》中,其中,《吕西斯篇》中称他为笛摩奉之子。《美涅克塞努篇》被认为是柏拉图对话录中十分独特的一篇:《美涅克塞努篇》虽然属于“对话录”,但其实主要为个人的阐述。有研究认为,《美涅克塞努篇》也许是柏拉图对修昔底德所引伯里克利葬礼演说的回应篇。
