 CIRCA 436 BCE
In the Classical period, Greece is at the peak of its cultural, military, and economic power. Great philosophers, such as Socrates and his disciple Plato abound. Innovations in sculpture and architecture are taking the arts to new heights. Plays are performed in acoustically superior amphitheatres. Beautiful temples have been erected to honor the gods and goddesses. The Persians have been defeated. Politicians and orators give long passionate speeches, and political views are dissected on stage as well as in the assembly. Democracy is well in place, and political intrigue is rife.
But the true cornerstone of Ancient Greece is its people and their everyday lives. Here, in the city-state of Athens, you can make your mark and relive a glorious past. Discuss philosophy with Socrates or Plato, sail on a merchant fleet that scours the known world to bring back luxurious silk, spices, and treasures, or become a hero at the Olympic Games. Create your own life in these ancient times, as a shopkeeper, a warrior, a courtesan, the owner of the local taverna, or whatever your imagination finds. Live the life of the Ancient Greeks... in
