The work (which dates to the very end of the second century AD) is amusing reading and of extraordinary value as a treasury of quotations from works now lost. Athenaeus also preserves a wide range of information about different cuisines and foodstuffs; the music and entertainments that ornamented banquets; and the intellectual talk that was the heart of Greek conviviality. S. Douglas Olson has undertaken to produce a complete new edition of the work, replacing the previous seven-volume Loeb Athenaeus (published under the title \u003ci\u003eDeipnosophists\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Athenaeus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674996739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674996731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.40h x 4.50w x 1.10d","brand":"Athenaeus","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054605824255,"sku":"9780674996731","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b0e81739-ae4d-4684-a340-fb3f5f567870.jpg?v=1685030922","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-learned-banqueters-athenaeus-9780674996731","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
