The "Deipnosophistae" of Athenaeus is one of the most celebrated
works of Greek grammar to survive from the ancient world. Athenaeus
lived in Naukratis, Egypt, at the end of the second century AD.
Within the work, his dinner-table philosophers discuss many aspects
of food, drink, dining habits and social customs, as represented in
Greek literature through the ages, with extensive quotations. It is
the only source for many works which have not survived to the
present day, as well as a huge treasure-house of Greek social
history, vocabulary and grammar. Parts of the known 15 books only
survive in epitome - extensive summaries. This is a new edition of
Volume I (Books I-VII) of the three-volume translation by C. D.
Yonge, carefully hand-edited to be clear and complete.
