In Greek literature, there are numerous mentions of {{Transliteration|grc|ariston}}, a meal taken not long after sunrise. The ''[[Iliad]]'' notes this meal with regard to a labor-weary woodsman eager for a light repast to start his day, preparing it even as he is aching with exhaustion.<ref name="Anderson, pg 9">[[#Anderson|Anderson]], p. 9</ref> The opening prose of the 16th book of the ''[[Odyssey]]'' mentions breakfast as the meal being prepared in the morning before attending to one's chores.<ref>Homer (2005) ''The Odyssey''. London: Macmillan. p. 265. {{ISBN|1909621455}}</ref> Eventually {{Transliteration|grc|ariston}} was moved to around noon, and a new morning meal was introduced.

In the post-Homeric classical period of Greece, a meal called {{Transliteration|grc|akratisma}} was typically consumed immediately after rising in the morning.<ref name="Anderson, pg 9"/> {{Transliteration|grc|Akratisma}} ({{lang|grc|ἀκρατισμός}}, {{Transliteration|grc|akratismos}}) consisted of [[barley]] bread dipped in [[wine]] ({{lang|grc|ἄκρατος}}, {{Transliteration|grc|akratos}}), sometimes complemented by [[Common fig|figs]] or [[olive]]s.<ref>Flacelière R.
