A Day In Old Athens is a historical book written by William Stearns Davis that provides a detailed account of life in ancient Athens during the 5th century BC. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Athenian life, including religion, politics, education, and daily activities. The author uses a combination of historical research and imagination to paint a vivid picture of what life was like for Athenians during this time period.Throughout the book, the author describes the various social classes that existed in Athens, from the wealthy aristocrats to the poor farmers and laborers. He also delves into the political system of Athens, which was based on direct democracy, and the important role that religion played in everyday life.One of the most fascinating aspects of the book is the detailed description of the education system in Athens, which was highly regarded during the time. The author describes the rigorous curriculum that young boys went through, including physical training, music, and philosophy.Overall, A Day In Old Athens is a fascinating read for anyone interested in ancient history, providing a detailed and engaging account of what life was like in one of the most important cities in the ancient world.The Andronitis is the true living room of the house: here the master will receive his visitors, here the male slaves will work, and the women also busy themselves (promptly retiring, however, on the appearance of masculine strangers). The decoration is very plain: the walls are neatly tinted with some kind of wash; the floor is of simple plaster, or, in a humbler house, common earth pounded hard.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
