Saturnalia
39.99 €
Macrobius' Saturnalia is an outstanding work of Late Antiquity, belonging to the genre of "symposia", which was begun by Plato and Xenophontes with dialogues of the same name, and continued by Plutarch (Table Talks) and Athenaeus (Feasting Sages). The participants of the feast discuss questions of the most diverse content and nature (from funny and amusing to complex and serious), supporting their arguments with quotations from ancient texts, as a rule, by now already lost. The collection of the most valuable monuments of ancient literature and the amazing skill of Macrobius in the construction of the presentation places this work among the outstanding works of ancient Greek and Roman literature.
The publication is addressed to students and teachers of philosophical, philological, cultural studies and other humanitarian specialties, as well as to all readers interested in the cultural heritage of the Antiquity.
