Symposium<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Deepnon in the ancient Greece period<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; Ancient Greeks used to have three meals; breakfast (<strong>akratismos<\/strong>) a small snack which usually was a slice of barley bread dipped in wine, lunch late in the afternoon which included a bigger variety than breakfast and the main lunch the richest of all late at night called \u2018<strong>Deepnon<\/strong>\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, Greeks had this \u2018<strong>Deepnon<\/strong>\u2019 with the company of some friends hearing music and speaking for political and philosophical issues. They took part in the famous \u201c<strong>Symposia<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Small note: &#8220;Deepnon&#8221; (Greek: \u0394\u03b5\u03af\u03c0\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd) in ancient Greek or \u2018Deepno&#8221; (Greek: \u0394\u03b5\u03af\u03c0\u03bd\u03bf) in modern can be translated as &#8220;Dinner&#8221; in English, although it wasn&#8217;t dinner at all.<\/p>\n<h3>Deepnon in the Byzantine era<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; Byzantium included many different ethnicities, and the dominating culture was the Greek one.<\/p>\n<p>Byzantines continued the <strong>Greek tradition of eating the \u201cDeepnon\u2019<\/strong> late at night, in big companies families, and with friends.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>dining room was the biggest room<\/strong> of all in the house and for the first time in history, Byzantines used to have fine tablecloth and flatware many of which were silver-made.<\/p>\n<p>After the first crusade westerners came, and they were very surprised as they had never seen those luxury objects before.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that the Byzantines enjoyed their meals at night as the ancient Greeks did before, but from the 10th century, they stopped sitting in small sofas called <strong>anaklintra<\/strong> (recliners) and started sitting in chairs.<\/p>\n<h3>Ottoman imperial and modern Greek State<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; During the ottoman imperial and when the first Greek state formed, the society was mostly agricultural.<\/p>\n<p>Families used to work all day long from morning to sunset, even women and children.<\/p>\n<p>After a long-day working logically, needed many hours to prepare their food. The <strong>late-night lunch was unavoidable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason why Greeks eat late at night is the hot weather, especially during the summer which lasts for about six months.<\/p>\n<h3>Latest years<\/h3>\n<p>After the 70s Greeks started to work all day long in touristic jobs and the <strong>families continued to eat late at night<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays Greeks use to entertain themselves by visiting a cinema or a theater and finishing with a nice \u2018Deepno\u201d in a good restaurant. Furthermore, in many Greek live music halls, <strong>food is served before the start of the performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"kad-spacer clearfix\" style=\"height:30px\"><\/div>\n<h3>Read More
