About
"The Deipnosophists; or, Banquet of the Learned of Athenæus, Vol. 3 (of 3)" by Athenaeus of Naucratis is a work written around 200 AD. Set at a series of Roman banquets, it presents conversations among scholars, grammarians, and experts discussing literature, food, wine, music, and ancient culture. Through their dialogue, the work quotes from approximately 700 earlier Greek authors and 2,500 writings, preserving invaluable fragments of lost literature. This sprawling compendium offers a fictionalized glimpse into the intellectual world of the leisured class during the Roman Empire. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
