Feasting and commensality formed the backbone of social life in the
polis, the most characteristic and enduring form of political
organization in the ancient Greek world. Exploring a wide array of
commensal practices, Feasting and Polis Institutions reveals how
feasts defined the religious and political institutions of the
Greek citizen-state. Taking the reader from the Early Iron Age to
the Imperial Period, this volume launches an essential inquiry into
Greek power relations. Focusing on the myriad of patronage roles at
the feast and making use of a wide variety of methodologies and
primary sources, including archaeology, epigraphy and literature,
Feasting and Polis Institutions argues that in ancient Greece
political interaction could never be complete until it was
consummated in a festive context.
