Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes the element of hospitality, which is inherent to the Greeks, since ancient times, to nowadays. On a technical level, it describes the household utensils of an ancient kitchen and provides evidence regarding cooking, delicacies, and the usage of dairy products, vegetables, fruits, drinks, and spices, which were all part of the Athenian kitchen. It finally explains the vital importance of grain in feeding the Athenian population and what institutions had the Athenians established in order to ensure the fair disposition and distribution of grains to the society as a whole.
