Deipnosophistae: Ancient work on philosophy, food, and culture
Deipnosophistae is a work written around 200 CE by Athenaeus of Naucratis about educated people who philosophize while eating and drinking. The 15-part work combines the Greek terms "Deipnos" (dinner) and "Sophisten" (philosophy teachers and rhetoricians) and offers insights into ancient Greek table customs and cultural traditions.
