Description
Athenaeus retells a story from Alexis’ lost work Linos. Mighty Heracles (think Archie’s Moose) visits his teacher, Linos. Linos shows Heracles his sophisticated library and allows him to choose a book. Browed furrowed, Heracles searches and finally decides. Everyone wonders what. He points:
ỏψαρτυσία, ώς φησι τούπίγραμμα
Like the title says, “Cookbook”!
If neither Athenaeus nor Alexis was making this up, the book is lost two levels deep. Otherwise, it is both lost and imaginary.
