Wine in Ancient Greece - Myths, Legends and History
Manage episode 479833953 series 2618300
Hello!
Wine was always central in the life of Ancient Greeks. Both on day to day basis, but also as foundational myths part of the story of being Greeks, their ancient and mythical past and the sacred lores of Gods.
For instance take this line from the mythical battle between the Lapiths and the Centaurs.
"For when Pirithous wooed Hippodamia he feasted the centaurs because they were her kinsmen. But being unaccustomed to wine, they made themselves drunk by swilling it greedily, and when the bride was brought in, the attempted to violate her. But Pirithous, fully armed with Theseus, joined the battle with them, and Theseus killed many of them"
-Zenobious, Centauromachy, V33
Please enjoy this wine-soaked archaeogastronomical and mythical adventure in the wine history of Ancient Greece!
