Full description for Daily Life of the Ancient Greeks
This is a description of life in Ancient Greece from the perspective of ordinary people. The book recreates the daily lives of men, women, children, the elderly, slaves, foreigners, the rich and the poor, providing information on topics such as food, drink, dress, housing and literacy. Readers should be able to gain an understanding of what it was like to live in one of the greatest eras of human history. The author brings an understanding to the different circumstances affecting the daily lives of different people, from age and gender, to geographical location and social status, answering such questions as: what were the Ancient Greeks' attitudes toward foreigners?; what was their life expectancy?; and how were women treated? Passages from ancient authors enhance the text, while subsections within each chapter provide access to the detailed information found in the work.
