An international team of literary specialists explore Athenaeus'
work as a whole, and in its own right. Almost all classicists and
ancient historians make use of Athenaeus; 'Athenaeus and his World'
is the first sustained attempt to understand and explore his work
as a whole, and in its own right. The work emerges as no mere
compendium of earlier texts, but as a vibrant work of complex
structure and substantial creativity. The book makes sense of the
massive and polyphonous Deipnosophistae, the quarry upon which
classicists and ancient historians depend for their knowledge of
much ancient literature, particularly Comedy, and also the source
of much of the data used by modern historians for the social
history of the classical and Hellenistic worlds. The 41 chapters;
written by an international team of literary specialists and
historians, each tackle a significant feature, and the book is
divided into seven sections, each prefaced by introductory remarks
from the editors.
