Meet the Ancient Greeks does just that! This book will transport you to a bustling Greek city where you will meet all kinds of people from all walks of life. Farmers, slaves, priestesses and soldiers will answer you questions and give you the inside information of what it may have been like to live at this time, before you are then transported back to your own era. Encounters with the Past is a brilliant series designed to shine a light on historical ideas about subjects such as medicine, science, religion, food, magic and society. Perfect for readers aged 9-11 who want a more personal account of these fascinating times.
