Athenaeus’ Deipnosophistae is the (never explicitly admitted) direct source of some of Aelian’s passages, especially in the Varia Historia, but also in the Natura Animalium. The aim of this article is the comparison of some of these passages, in order to cast some light on the way both use and quote their sources, and on their personality as writers.
