A translation of the existing pieces of Archestratus "Hedupatheia" (a.k.a. Life of Luxury), the 4th century BCE mock epic poem of life and food in the Mediterranean world of the period. An influential and widely read piece in ancient times, little of it remains today, but this authoritative study contains all the text available, along with criticism and historical and cultural commentary.
