{"product_id":"men-of-athens-olivia-coolidge-9781955402064","title":"Men of Athens","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn these short stories, Olivia Coolidge puts flesh and blood on the history of the Golden Age of Athens-a highly colored panorama of the times and men who made the glory of Athens Golden Age. Here is the barbaric splendor of the Persian court of Sardis; a stirring view of the battle of Salamis; here is Themistocles, the ambassador from Athens, cleverly outmaneuvering the smug and simple Spartans; Criton, the athlete, defending the honor of his city at the Olympic games; the battle of the marketplace where even a potter strives for an excellence worthy of his city. Finally after the flashing brilliance of Athens at its height of power, there is a moving account of the day that Socrates is condemned to death, a verdict that seems to spell the death of Athens itself. A true visit to the world of the Athenian century!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olivia Coolidge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 195540206X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781955402064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hillside Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Olivia Coolidge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075770675455,"sku":"9781955402064","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_074069ce-e079-4caf-94ff-74cdb1a3d2f0.jpg?v=1685461339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/men-of-athens-olivia-coolidge-9781955402064","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
