Résumé
Invitations to the gods, sacrifices, feasts: some shades of Greek and Roman religiosity. P. Veyne. No structuralism nor sociological holism. "Society" is not explanation, but outcome. "Religion" is not a thing, an essence, but a flag or label. A same behaviour can conceal various attitudes: the dinners of Serapis (Delos, papyri, Aelius Aristides) are unequally mystical or secularized. Gods inviting to dinner (Stratonicaa) or invited to (Artemidorus, Horace, Latin epigraphy). Religious creating through metaphors (fatigare deos, challenge prayers, Theoxenia of Lectisternia as putting on stage). Sacrifice and feast, god's share by the banquet, trapezomata, magmentum, the Ara Maxima. Are gods and men table companions? Eumaeus sacrificing : not tartuffe, but many-sided bearing. Why sacrificing appears everywhere (no ethology, no depth psychology). Why eating together seems to express Society.
