Abstract

The Greek culture left numerous traces in the Arabic civilization, as much in the arts as in social life. One of the these traces, where we can observe the clearest greekhellenistic influence, took place in the literary sessions (mayalis) where the Arabic intellectuals, during the Middle Ages (as in the East and in the West) met to drink and enjoy life's pleasures, speak about politics, philosophy or improvise and recite poems. This social fact resulted in a very characteristic poetic genre, the jamriyya, that has a clear precedent in the greek symposion where can be seen the same circumstances and social and literary elements that will later appear in the Arabic maílis.
