Polish wine – although not as well-known as its Western European counterparts – has a rich and intriguing history. Its “career” began at the tables of the elite – princes and bishops – in castle halls and monastic refectories. It was served to envoys and high-ranking dignitaries and offered to guests at weddings and betrothals. Wine was considered a prestigious beverage and it was widely believed that those aspiring to join the social elite should partake in it. This elevated status also stemmed from its sacred function – in Catholic liturgy, wine symbolises the blood of Christ.

The Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on the Relationship Between Oral and Written Culture invites you to the next event in the series “What I Would Like to Tell You About Oral Tradition.”
Ancient sources refer in various ways to the so-called Peisistratean recension of the Homeric poems. These accounts share the idea that The Iliad and The Odyssey, allegedly already committed to writing, were later fragmented and dispersed, until Peisistratus, the tyrant of Athens in the 6th century BCE, initiated an effort to collect the scattered fragments and commissioned the Athenians to produce a new edition of the text.
