"The Deipnosophists; or, Banquet of the Learned of Athenæus, Vol. 1 (of 3)" by C. D. Yonge is a literary work written in the mid-19th century. This comprehensive collection presents a dialogue in the form of a symposium that explores various topics around food, philosophy, and cultural practices during ancient times. At the heart of the discussion is Laurentius, a wealthy Roman hosting a banquet with a diverse group of intellectuals, including poets, philosophers, and musicians who share their insights on an assortment of subjects. At the start of this volume, Athenæus sets the scene of a grand banquet held by Laurentius, who hosts esteemed guests, including notable figures such as Galen and Ulpian. The dialogue that unfolds is rich in details about foods, drinks, and the arts of conversation, reflecting a feast not just of physical nourishment but of intellectual and cultural exchange. Athenæus has crafted the narrative in the style of Plato's dialogues, encouraging lively discourse on the characteristics of meals, the customs of dining, and various culinary delights, while also intertwining quotes from prior literary works and the thoughts of celebrated thinkers of his time. The opening portion establishes a foundation for the expansive examination of gastronomic culture in antiquity that follows in later chapters.
