Athenaeus draws upon an extensive collection of lost and extant works, quoting from poets, playwrights, historians, and philosophers, making "The Deipnosophists" an invaluable source for understanding ancient Greek culture and thought. This edition, meticulously compiled and edited by Isaac Casaubon and Johann Schweigh user, offers readers a comprehensive and accessible entry point into this monumental work.
