Descrição: For the last few years, vegetarianism has been a social issue and at the center of ethico-ecological debates. Whereas the term exists since the 19th century, many vegetarians affirm that the practise exists already in Antiquity and use great philosophical figures as examples. It is indeed indisputable that the abstinence from meat existed in Antiquity, however this subject has been little exploited by historians. Considered for a long time as a marginal topic with a more philosophical than historical significance, the ancient vegetarianism aroused only tardily and recently the interest of researchers. This paper proposes to examine the historiography of this topic by showing how research on food, on sacrifice and on animals influenced research on ancient vegetarianism.
