Translation into Valencian, with notes, of books IV and V of the Athenaeum Banquet of Naucratis, a work in prose (ss. II-III AD), which narrates, following the pattern of the Platonic dialogue, the dinner and subsequent symposium of a group of scholars in Rome. In the constant display of erudition that this conversation entails, all the news, authors, titles and fragments of works that are now lost and of which this is the only source are cited. The quotations belong to very different genres and themes, ranging from scientific literature (medicine, zoology, botany) to archaic lyric and, especially, dramatic poetry, especially comedy. Apart from the literary interest of these texts, this work is a very valuable source of information on numerous aspects of the Greek and Roman cultures of Antiquity. The translation is preceded by an introductory study and a selective and updated bibliography, and a prologue by Professor Tomàs Martínez Romero. The first volume, with the first three books, are also published by the Universitat Jaume I and the Universitat de València. | |
