古希腊食物——古希腊人以什么为食?为什么?

古希腊食物

古希腊食物——苹果

对希腊人来说,食物含有多种宗教哲学意义。首先,希腊人不吃肉,除非已经向众神祭祀过,或者肉是从野外猎获的。他们认为,不事先向众神祭祀便宰杀并吃驯养的动物是错误的。甚至对于蔬菜,很多希腊人认为某些食物要干净或肮脏一些, 或者某些神更偏爱某些食物。比如说,毕达哥拉斯学徒不吃四季豆。但是,即使不是毕达哥拉斯学徒,古希腊人在喝时(他们经常喝酒)也总会想起酒神狄厄尼索斯,在吃面包时想起得墨忒耳珀尔塞福涅

希腊人主要以地中海三大样为食,这三大样分别是小麦(或大麦)、葡萄酒橄榄油。他们也种植蔬菜,特别是豆类(扁豆、四季豆、豌豆、鹰嘴豆)。他们可能比其他地中海地区的人吃更多的。另外,因为他们对祭祀用的肉的感觉,他们可能比其他人吃的要少。
