Archestratus (Archestratos) was a Greek poet of Gela, in Sicily, who flourished about 318 BC, and composed the humorous didactic poem Hedu-patheia ("Good Cheer"), supposed to describe a gastronomic tour round the then known world, with playful echoes of Homer and the dogmatic philosophers. The numerous fragments display much talent and wit. It was imitated in Latin by Ennius.
