PDF Ebook Online A Day in Old Athens, by William Stearns Davis
This little book tries to describe what an intelligent person would see and hear in ancient Athens, if by some legerdemain he were translated to the fourth century B.C. and conducted about the city under competent guidance. Rare happenings have been omitted and sometimes, to avoid long explanations, PROBABLE matters have been stated as if they were ascertained facts; but these instances are few, and it is hoped no reader will be led into serious error.The year 360 B.C. has been selected for the hypothetical time of this visit, not because of any special virtue in that date, but because Athens was then architecturally almost perfect, her civic and her social life seemed at their best, the democratic constitution held its vigor, and there were few outward signs of the general decadence which was to set in after the triumph of Macedon.

About the Author William Stearns Davis (April 30, 1877 – February 15, 1930) was an American educator, historian, and author. He has been cited as one who “contributed to history as a scholarly discipline, . . . [but] was intrigued by the human side of history, which, at the time, was neglected by the discipline.” After first experimenting with short stories, he turned while still a college undergraduate to longer forms to relate, from an involved (fictional) character’s view, a number of critical turns of history. This faculty for humanizing, even dramatizing, history characterized Davis’ later academic and professional writings as well, making them particularly suitable for secondary and higher education during the first half of the twentieth century in a field which, according to one editor, had “lost the freshness and robustness . . . the congeniality” that should mark the study of history. Both Davis’ fiction and non-fiction are found in public and academic libraries today.

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Walking Tour of Old Athens By Debbie Hoffpauir Davis takes you on an interesting walking tour of old Athens. He begins by entering the town at sunrise, beginning the day at market where people are eager to hear or tell "some new thing" . He continues throughout the city, meeting with every aspect of Athenian life and culture.This is very interesting reading, especially in conjunction with a study of Greek history or Homeric literature. It will give a broader understanding of the lifestyle and values of the Greeks.

It was nice to learn about everyday Greek life. The level of detail is good, like the prices of homes and slaves converted to today's dollars. Learning about how they fought their battles, at sea and on land, was helpful before reading Thucydides history of the Peloponnesian War. When I finish reading the Greeks, I will be reading "A Day in Old Rome."

It really allowed me to feel like I understood the city beyond the ruins and could feel the people who had had a life there all those years ago. Recommended for all age groups. I bought it so I could read it again.
