About this book
Greek dress, schooling, marriage, meals, medicine, athletics, the theatre and slavery each have a chapter in this account of daily life in ancient Greece. Hugo Blümner's German study was translated by Alice Zimmern, a former scholar of Girton College, Cambridge, who made small alterations for English readers. Numerous illustrations come from vase paintings, reliefs and statues, among them a Greek lady's toilet and a statue of Sophocles. The title page of this revised edition is dated 1895.
