The Cuisine of Sacrifice among the Greeks Paperback - 1998
by Marcel Detienne
From the publisher
First line
THERE are two reasons for our choice of examining the Greeks on the problems of blood sacrifice.
From the rear cover
For the Greeks, the sharing of cooked meats was the fundamental communal act, so that to become vegetarian was a way of refusing civil society. It follows that the roasting or cooking of meat was a political act, as the division of portions asserted a social order. And the only proper manner of preparing meat for consumption, according to the Greeks, was blood sacrifice.
