Abstract

finding, preparing and consuming them may perhaps have evolved, but food itself has always Science and technology been, and will always be, a staple of any culture. In Greek literature, food is notable in Homer’s Odyssey; it is the reason for Menelaus’ delay in returning home, the need for food, provision, RR 2016/123 hunger. After this, it becomes a noticeable theme A Companion to Food in the Ancient in parts of the story. Hesiod also takes up the World theme in Works and Days, where food is Edited by John Wilkins and Robin Nadeau considered more seriously as the difference between life and death. Comedy too has its own Wiley Blackwell focus on food and drink, so it is in Latin literature Malden, MA and Oxford too. While the Greeks are seemingly happy to include both in a variety of works, the hierarchy of xiii  457 pp. Latin literature results in food and drink appearing ISBN 978 1 4051 7940 9 (print); in the “lower genres” of comedy, satire and the ISBN 978 1 118 87819 4 (e-book), novel.
