A DAY IN OLD ATHENS - A Picture of Athenian Life (Illustrated)

"A Day in Old Athens." an interesting account of Athenian life. The book describes first, the city, then the private houses and public buildings, then the daily routine of the life of women and children, of slaves, schoolboys, and physicians.

Then it goes on to tells about the funerals and the festivals, the sports and the debates, worship, politics and business, and even covers cooking.

The book is written for the general reader, but the statements are based on the best sources. Such a book will do far more than many rhapsodies on Greek genius to tell us just what sort of persons the Athenians were.
