Note 477 — Chapter XIV
Reading edition
The greatest number of fish which I can count at any feast mentioned in Athenæus (in Bk. IV. 13) amounts to only thirty-two! Badham (p. 587) omits to state that the whole poem is nothing but a parody, chiefly of Homer, by Matron, and is not a “Bill of fare of an Attic supper” in any sense.
