The Homeschool Collective

This educational book focuses on a great civilization, dealing intimately with the everyday life of ordinary people. It not only tells us how the ancient Greeks thought and lived in the fifth century BC, but it also presents some of the physical evidence on which our historical knowledge is based. The lively, stimulating text covers topics ranging from the busy life of the Greek woman at home to the craftsman in his workshop, the farmer toiling on the land, and the drudgery of slaves in the silver-mines. Readers will explore discussions at the assembly in the agora, the packed, sun-filled stadium at Olympia, the dark mysteries of the oracle at Delphi, and the crowded drama competitions at Epidaurus. Integrated with detailed artwork reconstructions, archaeological diagrams, maps, and photographs.
