I would note in response The strong seem to have no problems with regularly eating
meat, and this in itself is a probable indication of wealth. The host for the fellowship meal, and therefore the provider
of the meat, is a householder. Few people and those only among the wealthy or
the aristocracy, owned houses. For I don’t dissent from Meeks’ description of
status inconsistency at all, but I think some of the argument has moved on:
Winter has done more work on patron-client relationships which often get
overlooked, and on Corinth in particular, (sorry I don’t have exact
references here) Savage’s Power
through Weakness has a provocative if scathing description of
Corinth as dominated by the conspicuous displays of the nouveaux riches, in which conspicuous
consumption (if not at Trimalchio’s level) is a vital part of attempting
to resolve their status inconsistency. All this continues to make me feel that the wealthy would not
only have no problems with eating meat, but would resent any attempt to curtail
their consumption, and hence remain good candidates for being “the strong” Doug Chaplin |
