| Resumo: | This translation presents the third anti-Platonic polemic in the Deipnosophistae, or The Learned Banqueters, by Athenaeus of Naucratis (XI.504c-509). The introduction and notes aim to underline how Athenaeus is an eloquent example, simultaneously, of the reception of the platonic dialogue form as a literary model and, on the other hand, of the negative reception of Platonism by ancient authors. As the synthesis of such ambivalence, it is not surprising that non-philosophic anti-platonic criticism in Antiquity paid particular attention to the dialogues’ dramatic and stylistic aspects. |
