In our school we have worked on the following programes: 2

The “Deipnosofistes” of Athenaeus, a Greek from Egypt, lived during the 3 rd century, A.D. The “Deipnosofistes” is a piece of work that consists of 15 books, through which the narrator, Athenaeus, quotes the conversations which took place during the time of a very famous dinner in Rome. It is a valuable tool about what has to do with the literature and the life in antiquity. This work is also a good source, which refers to the symposiums, the dishes served there and the spectacles that were suggested. It is a real book about gastronomy which includes information related to the customs of the table (dining), food, menu and wine. 3

During our meetings we occupied ourselves with the nutrition in Ancient Greece and compared it with the French and German nutrition. 7

We discovered that the Ancient Greeks used to eat pulses, vegetables, fish, a little meat, bread, fruit, honey, not many sweets, cheese and yoghurt and drank wine with water 8

Following, we were informed on the French and German eating habits of teenagers. 9

Finally, we noticed that the Europeans today tend to follow the Mediterranean Diet which is very close to the nutrition of Ancient Greeks 11
