Our Little Athenian Cousin of Long Ago<\/strong><\/h3>\n

by Julia Darrow Cowles<\/p>\n

Look inside…<\/a><\/p>\n

Description:  Vivid portrayal of the civic and home life of children in Athens during the reign of Pericles, when the art and architecture of ancient Greece were at their height. Through the eyes of Duris, son of the architect Phorion, and Hiero, son of the sculptor Hermippos, we experience the Greek culture of the times as we accompany them on their journey from home to market-place, wonder at the Acropolis, visit schools and studios, observe festivals, and participate in the Olympic games.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
