Life in Ancient Greece

By Don Nardo

Book Overview

Much of what is known about people's everyday lives in times past comes from artifacts but also from diaries, letters, and other writings. Many important details of life during the Civil War, for instance, can be found in the diaries of women who carried on while their men were at war. In the Living History series, firsthand accounts such as these are combined with thoughtful narrative to offer a rich and vivid portrait of daily life in various times and places in history. A visual chronology, sidebars that feature quotes from people of the period and from historians, selected vocabulary words, source notes, a bibliography for further research, and an index provide additional tools for student researchers.

Customer Reviews

well done

This book is very well done and tells a lot of information for such a small book. It's written for high school students, but it has enough detail that adults can get a lot out of it as well. Another book by this author, called Life in Ancient Athens, is even better. Both books cover more or less the same information, only the book on Athens goes into a little more detail. I givbe a thumbs up to both books.
