美涅克塞努篇
《美涅克塞努篇》 (希臘語:Μενέξενоς)是蘇格拉底的哲學語錄集(Σωκρατικὸς λόγος),由柏拉圖記載。它與《大希庇亞斯》《小希庇亞斯》和《埃奧恩》一同構成第七四聯劇。《美涅克塞努篇》是一篇長篇葬禮辭,諷刺了伯利克里在修昔底德為伯羅奔尼撒戰爭的辯解。其中的兩個主角是蘇格拉底和美涅克塞努,有關美涅克塞努的語錄還記錄在柏拉圖的《呂西斯篇》和《斐多篇》中,其中,《呂西斯篇》中稱他為笛摩奉之子。《美涅克塞努篇》被認為是柏拉圖對話錄中十分獨特的一篇:《美涅克塞努篇》雖然屬於「對話錄」,但其實主要為個人的闡述。有研究認為,《美涅克塞努篇》也許是柏拉圖對修昔底德所引伯里克利葬禮演說的回應篇。
