The Deipnosophists is a book written by Athenaeus Of Naucratis, a Greek rhetorician and grammarian who lived in the third century AD. The book is a collection of conversations and discussions that took place during a banquet, or symposium, held by a group of learned men. The discussions cover a wide range of topics, including literature, philosophy, history, and science. The book is divided into fifteen books, each of which contains several chapters. The Deipnosophists is considered a valuable source of information on ancient Greek culture and society, as well as a showcase of Athenaeus' erudition and wit. The book is also notable for its extensive use of quotations from other works, including lost works of Greek literature.Licymnius of Chios, after explaining that Sleep was in love with Endymion, says that Sleep does not cover the eyes of Endymion when he slumbers, but lays his beloved to rest with eyelids wide opened, that he may enjoy the delight of gazing upon them continually. His words are: ""Sleep, joying in the light of his eyes, was wont to lay the boy to rest with lids wide open.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
