ΤΟ ΠΡΟΣΩΠΟ ΚΑΙ Ο ΕΡΩΣ | GREEK EDITION

Ancient Athens was not all art, intellect and politics. This detailed and scholarly, yet irreverent handbook also plunges into the fun side of Athenian life, with wine-sodden symposiums, brothels and brawls, advising the reader to avoid inns where the beds are infested with bugs (and prostitutes) and warning that torches and an escort are needed to avoid muggers after an evening on the town.

This wittily-written guide – a companion to the same author’s bestselling&nbsp;Ancient Rome on Five Denarii a Day&nbsp;– provides all the information a tourist needs for a journey to ancient Athens in the 5th century BC. Meet some of the greatest philosophers, writers and artists who ever lived. Encounter ordinary Athenians in the marketplace, in the assembly and on their country farms, and learn the true character of one of the most extraordinary cities of any age.
