A rhetorician of the late second century, Athenaeus wrote 'The Deipnosophistae' ('Dinner-Table Philosophers'), a fifteen-book encyclopaedia of information on the ancient world, preserving otherwise lost treasures from many important writers. The text is structured as a dialogue in the vein of Plato, offering an amusing account of a Greek symposium. 'The Deipnosophistae' details the many different cuisines and entertainments of ancient banquets, held together by the intellectual talk of Hellenic conviviality. Delphi's Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This comprehensive eBook presents the extant text of 'The Deipnosophistae', with illustrations, an informative introduction and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
Beautifully illustrated with images relating to Athenaeus' life and works
