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.
