Sinopsis

The Deipnosophists, or 'The Philosophers? Banquet,' by Athenaeus of Naucratis, is a sprawling and erudite work presented as a dialogue taking place during a series of lavish banquets. This second volume continues the exploration of a vast array of topics, from food and wine to music, literature, and philosophy. Athenaeus draws upon a wealth of lost and extant sources, quoting extensively from poets, playwrights, historians, and philosophers, offering invaluable insights into ancient Greek culture and intellectual life. Through the conversations of the banqueters, Athenaeus paints a vivid picture of the Hellenistic world, preserving fragments of knowledge that would otherwise have been lost to time.
