| Written in the form of a city tour, this book explores all areas of Athens during the Classical era. It starts with the Parthenon and other temples on the Akropolis, the city's summit and dwelling-place of the gods. The visitor is then guided through the law courts, the democratic assembly and the Agora - the city's civic and commercial centre - and taken past houses, workshops and shrines to the city gates and beyond: to the Kerameikos cemetery, the city's harbour and the Attic countryside. With a brief historical background to each site and its role in the life of ancient Athenians, this book acts as a guide to the Classical city and its people. |
