Interest in food and drink as an academic discipline has been
growing significantly in recent years. This sourcebook is a unique
asset to many courses on food as it offers a thematic approach to
eating and drinking in antiquity. For classics courses focusing on
ancient social history to introductory courses on the history of
food and drink, as well as those offerings with a strong
sociological or anthropological approach this volume provides an
unparalleled compilation of essential source material. The
chronological scope of the excerpts extends from Homer in the
Eighth Century BCE to the Roman emperor Constantine in the Fourth
Century CE. Each thematic chapter consists of an introduction along
with a bibliography of suggested readings. Translated excerpts are
then presented accompanied by an explanatory background paragraph
identifying the author and context of each passage. Most of the
evidence is literary, but additional sources - inscriptional, legal
and religious - are also included.
