Renate Schlesier explores the ancient Greek symposion, a social institution centered around communal drinking, through lectures delivered at the Munich Center for Ancient Worlds. The book discusses the role of Dionysos and Aphrodite, gender dynamics, and cultural experiments within symposia. It draws on textual and visual evidence from the 8th to 6th centuries BCE. Schlesier examines the symposion as a cultural phenomenon, influenced by earlier and contemporary scholarship, to provide insights into ancient Greek social and religious practices. The book is intended for scholars and students in classical studies, archaeology, and history.
