Their society was driven by an insatiable lust for culinary delights - especially fish - fine wine and pleasures of the flesh. Indeed, great fortunes were squandered and politicians careers ruined through ritual drinking at the symposium, or the wooing of highly-coveted, costly prostitutes.James Davidson brings an incisive eye and an urbane wit to this refreshingly accessible and different history of the people who invented Europe, democracy and art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51598792622368,"sku":"NEW0006863434","price":15.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/817SXE_vSL_c5281d9a-71e9-4429-9f38-cd47f7139a02.jpg?v=1779206049","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/courtesans-and-fishcakes-the-consuming-passions-of-classical-athens-0006863434","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
