- If you liked Ancient Rome on 5 Denarii a Day...
You'll enjoy this! A guide to Athens for anyone with even the vaguest interest in the Classical world. This book is readable, fun, and beautfully illustrated with line drawings and colour plates. As with 'Ancient Rome on 5 Denarii a Day' there are fun info boxes and quotes (e.g. 'Cicadas chirp up in the trees a month or two, but our Athenians keep chirping over lawsuits all their lives...' Aristophanes, The Birds )
Categories include:
GETTING THERE
THE PIRAEUS
ORIENTATION
ATHENIAN PASTIMES
MEET THE ATHENIANS
CITY OF GODS
MUST-SEE SIGHTS
There is also a glossary of 'Useful Phrases' at the end. My favourite is 'A Spartan, an Athenian and a Boeotian went into a tavern...' in Classical Greek, of course!
