At archaeological sites such as the Franchthi Cave in Argolis and the Cyclops Cave on Gioura, Alonissos, many remains of tuna bones have been found. In fact, zooarchaeological findings from the latter include a stunning variety of fish beyond tuna, such as scorpionfish, sea bream, sea bass and mackerel. The excavations there also uncovered bone fishhooks dating to the Mesolithic period. Despite their relatively minor imprint in the archaeological record, fish and seafood were major dietary staples of populations living on Greece\u2019s coasts. A wide variety of fish is identified in the zooarchaeological material of the Neolithic (7th\u20134th millennia BC) and the Bronze Age (4th\u20132nd millennia BC), as well as in the historical periods that followed, with a great range of catches from both marine and freshwater environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/portal.greekfarms.gov.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/497_2.1.\u03b1_20250913_162730-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16812 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/portal.greekfarms.gov.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/497_2.1.\u03b1_20250913_162730-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/portal.greekfarms.gov.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/497_2.1.\u03b1_20250913_162730-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/portal.greekfarms.gov.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/497_2.1.\u03b1_20250913_162730-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/portal.greekfarms.gov.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/497_2.1.\u03b1_20250913_162730-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/portal.greekfarms.gov.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/497_2.1.\u03b1_20250913_162730-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Image 2.1.a.

This is evident, for example, in the works of the comic poet Alexis (4th\u20133rd c. BC), as quoted by Athenaeus. In one passage he even remarks that if someone is poor and buys fish, then he must have robbed someone the previous night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain fish were quite popular in antiquity and appear frequently in the ancient texts. Eels are one such example, and they are mentioned as early as the Iliad. Archestratus (4th c. BC) praises all eels as fine food, but singles out those caught in the strait of Rhegion, at Messina in southern Italy, while noting that he also values the eels of Lake Kopais in Boeotia and those of the River Strymon in Macedonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Image 2.1.b.

These small fish, which were abundant in the area of Faliro in Attica, seem to have been cooked briefly over a very strong fire, especially the aphye. References to smaller fish in ancient Greek literature became more frequent from the 5<sup>th<\/sup> c. BC onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most popular means of preserving fish in antiquity was by salting. It appears that salted fish were also imported, as we learn from the comic poet Alexis (4th\u20133rd c. BC), in a passage preserved by Athenaeus: this trade was so significant that the sons of an importer of such fish were granted Athenian citizenship. Other preservation methods included different forms of salting and smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The great variety of fish in antiquity, the ways they were consumed, and even many of their names, remain alive today \u2013 along with the ancient tradition that fish, especially large ones, are a costly delicacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bibliography<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the information above was drawn from the following papers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dalby, A.E.
