If you could have a dinner party with any three authors in history, who would you pick to spend an evening with?

I would choose Shakespeare, Plato, and Homer

At dinner I would ask Plato to what extent Socrates existed. Shakespeare and Homer are likely collectives (like nicolas bourbaki) so would either not show up, or perhaps a hundred extra guests would appear instead with Marlowe, Bacon, Kyd etc among them.
