	abstract = {Stable isotopes in skeletons indicate changes in diet, and a sample of humans from Classical Thebes showed an unexpected increase in nitrogen values - usually associated with increased access to protein. But from what and how? After considering the possible sources of meat, milk and manure, the authors highlight the contribution of freshwater-fish, and find support in Aristophanes - where the citizens are heard clamouring for the eels of Lake Kopais.},
