Book description

In Daily Life in Ancient and Modern Athens, explore the city called the "cradle of democracy." Watch Athens grow from a tiny village into the important city-state of the fifth century B.C. You'll watch the construction of the Parthenon and argue in the Agora. Fight as a foot soldier against the Persian Empire! Centuries later, visit a medieval farm. Explore the city on the eve of a revolt against the Ottoman Empire control. Finally, relax at an outdoor café in the sprawling capital of a modern nation. [from the back cover]
