How to organize a mythological banquet

Mythology is the set of myths and legends, for example the Greek myths try to explain the origins of the world and detail the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, heroes and other mythological creatures. These festivities and banquets (symposia) revolved around the seasons of the year and the Greeks knew how to combine piety with pleasure very well and put much enthusiasm in their celebrations from the most transcendental to the smallest of them. The symposia, which we translate as a banquet, properly mean "meeting of drinkers" since they were authentic banquets where food and wine flowed permanently. These types of parties are ideal for anniversaries or innovative and unforgettable weddings.
