Publisher's Note
Walk through the crowded Athenian marketplace, the Agora, past the sandalmakers, wine dealers, and slave merchants. All around you, dancers, jugglers and conjurers amuse you for a coin or two. Visit the battlefields, the athletic arenas, the schoolrooms and the bedrooms of the civilization that brought democracy to the world.
Industry reviews
Gr 9 Up This large, well-designed volume on Athens in the classical age invites readers to browse through the lavishly illustrated inserts on such topics as voting, medicine, building the Parthenon, and divination, and to linger over pictorial essays on gods and goddesses, Homeric heroes, the Olympics, and Alexander the Great. However, the main content of the book is in the three chapters that reconstruct the life of the city as lived by the ordinary householder, the aristocratic class, and the farmer-soldier. Based on historical fact and documentary evidence, the chapters are fine examples of the current trend toward historical storytelling, reconstructing the past through informed speculation and dramatization. A famous speech in defense of a man named Euphiletos, charged with the murder of his wife's lover, becomes the window into domestic middle-class life. The well-known figures of Pericles and Aspasia provide the basis for entering into the social and political life of the rich and powerful; and a re-creation of the battles of Marathon, on land, and the Athenian navy at sea, show the military in action. Full-color photographs, prints, sculptures, and drawings of numerous figures from Greek pottery decorate the pages in an appealing array of Greek art and architecture. The facts of history are here for the seeking, in the introductory overview, the biographical sketches, and the maps, but the book is really structured, and visually designed, for leisurely reading and enjoyment.
