Abstract

Modern scholars have long favored the study of archaic and classical Greece, neglecting the Hellenistic age: this also applies to studies of food and symposia. In recent decades, however, this situation has changed and studies on food and symposia in the Hellenistic age have also increased. To clarify as much as possible the reality of the symposia of the Macedonian aristocracy, this paper analyzes a long passage of Athenaeus (4, 1-5 [128a-130d]), which describes the wedding banquet of a certain Caranus, aliter ignotus: the pomp and richness of this banquet were truly unimaginable for Greece.
