Opis

Archestratos of Gela's Life of Luxury is a fundamental source for our understanding not only of fourth-century literature but also of the significance of food and dining, and the reception of epic poetry in the late classical period. This edition is based on a fresh examination of the manuscripts and is the first to combine a critical text of the poem with a translation, a detailed commentary, and an extensive introduction situating the work in its literary, social, and cultural context.

Recenzje

Scholars and teachers interested in ancient food and dining will welcome this collection of the fragments of the fourth-century BC gastronomical poem, Hedupatheia, by Archestratos, usually accessible only in references scattered throughout the eipnosophistae of Athenaeus
