Abstract

This paper will look at banquets in the context of non-food related events like assassinations, making an impression, and true character reveals, heavily illustrated by citations from twenty-three different Parallel Lives, with a final section on food-related events focusing on Spartan black broth (μέλας ζωμός) as a characterizing device.
