{"product_id":"men-of-old-greece-yesterdays-jennie-hall-9781599152707","title":"Men of Old Greece (Yesterday's Classics)","description":"A vivid picture of life in ancient Greece through the stories of four very different men. The reader hears how Leonidas, raised under the strict system of Sparta, becomes king and leads his countrymen at the battle of Thermopylae, and how Themistocles, in prompting the Athenians to build boats and escape to Salamis, guides the Greeks to victory against the Persians. When Athens lay in ruins, the sculptor Phidias is instrumental in its rebuilding. It becomes such a vibrant city that the philosopher Socrates, when arrested on a trumped-up charge, prefers to die, rather than to live anywhere other than Athens. Numerous black and white illustrations enliven the text. Suitable for ages 8 and up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennie Hall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1599152703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781599152707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yesterday's Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.41d","brand":"Jennie Hall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45265081598207,"sku":"9781599152707","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2854edc9-0eb0-472b-934e-af143a1ca3d7.jpg?v=1713420096","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/men-of-old-greece-yesterdays-jennie-hall-9781599152707","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
