The Boastful Chef: The Discourse of Food in Ancient Greek Comedy
Wilkins, John (Senior Lecturer in Classics, Senior Lecturer in Classics, University of Exeter)
This is a book about Greek culture. It explains why Greek comedy picked out food in particular as a cultural marker. Hundreds of comic fragments are quoted in translation. The development of comedy is explored together with comic creativity as poets sought to represent 'reality' (figs or cooking-pots) on the stage.
