About this title

Synopsis

What was it actually like to live in Athens when Greek civilization was at the height of its powers? An eminent classicist uses ancient literature, history, and archaeology to show us 5th-century life in this jewel of all cities--what the citizens ate, how they dressed, the type of work they performed, plus its timeless theater, laws, and warfare.
