This tour of the classical city of Athens takes the reader from the Acropolis to the theatre, from the political, civic and commercial centres, to the harbour and surrounding countryside. Rather than describing the areas and their buildings, it provides the historical and social background to the different parts of the city giving some idea of what life might have been like in Athens. This is not an aid to navigating around the city, there are no maps or directions, but it fills in the gaps between what you see and what you may alreadt know.
