Title: Deipnosophists, Volume 7: Books 14.653b-15; General Indices (L345) Author: Athenaeus, Charles Burton Gulick (trans) Publisher: Harvard University Press; Publication Date: 1980 Hardcover; ISBN: 9780674993808 Volumes: 1; Pages: 560 List Price in Cloth: $26.00 Our price: $26.00 (Add to Cart button is at the bottom of this page) In the Deipnosophists or Sophists at Dinner, Athenaeus pretends to tell about a dinner party at a scholar's house to which guests brought texts for reading and discussion. The work is enjoyable in itself and of great value as a treasury of quotations from works now lost. The reader also learns much about Greek, Persian, Roman, and Sicilian cuisine; the music and entertainments that ornamented banquets; and the intellectual talk that was the heart of Greek conviviality. |
