The question which suggests itself after reading even this effort of Mr. Church's to interest children of a younger age than those for whom he has usually written, is whether children will, after all, enjoy his book as much as those who read it to them. We can answer for it that very few children will read Mr. Church's very taking account of the domestic life of Athens and Sparta at about the time of the Peloponnesian War with the same keen interest as that which it has excited in the present reviewer, who, having forgotten a good deal of what Mr. Church brings out so pleasantly, and never having known some of it, has followed the story of these three inheritors of the traditions of Marathon and Salamis with as eager a sympathy as if he were making acquaintance with that most fascinating of histories for the first time. We could have spared, indeed, a little of the chapter on "Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic," which reminded us painfully of Miss Edgeworth's "Harry and Lucy," and Mrs. Barbauld's "Tutor, George, and Harry." But the narrative given to the children by survivors of the battles of Marathon aud Salamis, the death of Hylax and of Sciton, the fragments of the Odyssey introduced into the story, the picture of the merchant-ships in the Peiraus, the account of Spartan manners and customs, the reminiscences of the old Messenian woman who could not forgive the Spartans for their victory, and the glimpse of the Isthmian games, seem to us as full of the unique charm of Greek romance and legend as any modern book on ancient Greece we have ever seen. And yet it is not quite easy to say what is the essence of that charm. Partly, perhaps, it consists in the lightness of the life,-the ease with which everything passes, even in Sparta, and still more in Athens,-birth, and education, and marriage, and work, and death, all seeming to pass as easily as they pass quickly, and without any of that burden of heavy responsibility and anxiety with which the modern life is loaded. Take this description, for instance, of the death of old Sciton, the survivor of Marathon, in the presence of his master and his children, and the physician who, after reviving his failing vitality, records the old man's will.... -The Spectator, Volume 61 [1889]

Three Sisters Around the Greek Table has the prestigious distinction of Best in World status from the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. The recipes in this cookbook are simple and proud. They are not complex, yet they are just as delicious, and impressive as those produced by some of today's hottest chefs. We are the three Greek sisters that have been blessed with the warmest of families and the goodness of homemade Greek food throughout our lives. The recipes we have compiled in this book carry with them memories of travels to our parents' homeland, the nostalgia of growing up, and of talking and laughing around the security of our parents' kitchen table. This is not the stuff of fast food Greek restaurants that has come to characterize Greek food in the minds of many. We have selected over 100 recipes that we believe will become a part of your regular repertoire once you have tried them. You may also be surprised to discover that over half of the recipes in this book are vegetarian. This is real Greek cooking. Enjoy.

Childhood in Ancient Athens offers an in-depth study of children during the heyday of the Athenian city state, thereby illuminating a significant social group largely ignored by most ancient and modern authors alike. It concentrates not only on the child's own experience, but also examines the perceptions of children and childhood by Athenian society: these perceptions variously exhibit both similarities and stark contrasts with those of our own 21st century Western society. The study covers the juvenile life course from birth and infancy through early and later childhood, and treats these life stages according to the topics of nurture, play, education, work, cult and ritual, and death. In view of the scant ancient Greek literary evidence pertaining to childhood, Beaumont focuses on the more copious ancient visual representations of children in Athenian pot painting, sculpture, and terracotta modelling. Notably, this is the first full-length monograph in English to address the iconography of childhood in ancient Athens, and it breaks important new ground by rigorously analysing and evaluating classical art to reconstruct childhood’s social history. With over 120 illustrations, the book provides a rich visual, as well as narrative, resource for the history of childhood in classical antiquity.
