The writings of ancient Greece and Rome and of biblical Israel are filled with descriptions of food. The narratives in Greek and Roman mythology and poetry often describe violent and repulsive behavior associated with food. The biblical narratives, in contrast, tend to view food in a respectful and purposeful manner. We compare and contrast some of these stories with regard to the specific themes: restraint, respect, purpose, and order. In each comparison, patterns of eating described in biblical laws and narratives will be contrasted with those emerging from Graeco-Roman stories and customs.
古希腊和罗马以及圣经中的以色列的著作中充满了对食物的描述。希腊和罗马神话和诗歌中的叙述经常描述与食物有关的暴力和令人反感的行为。相比之下，圣经中的叙述往往以尊重和有目的的方式看待食物。我们将这些故事中的一些进行比较和对比，涉及到的主题有：节制、尊重、目的和秩序。在每次比较中，圣经法律和叙述中描述的饮食习惯将与希腊罗马故事和习俗中出现的饮食习惯进行对比。
