Description
The modern world owes a great debt to the Ancient Greeks - for their love of beauty and sport; for their art and architecture; and for their belief in reason and faith in democracy. But what was life like in those enlightened times? Why were women forbidden - on pain of death - to attend the Olympic Games, even as spectators? Was it all light-minded idealism, or was there another side to life? This volume offers a trip back in time to the cradle of democracy, seeking to give the reader a show more taste of what life was like in Ancient Greece. It features colour illustrations and time-charts. show lessTags
