Eso no estaba en mi libro de historia de la antigua Grecia

Did you know that the great Athenian playwright Aeschylus was killed by a blow from a turtle that fell from the sky? And that his death was predicted by an oracle? Or that the penalty for robbery in a public space was punishable by death, while in a house it was punished with the payment of double the amount extracted? That Greek women, despite criticism, waxed, even using methods as painful as embers? Did you know that not even a god like Apollo could defeat Fate to prevent the death of Jacinto, whom his spilled blood transformed into a flower for the eternal memory of him? Do you know the Greek origin of the expression "having donkey ears"? Or that Calipatira was responsible for the coaches being naked by impersonating her husband as a coach in the Olympic Games in which women were banned? The alluring ancient Greece is an inexhaustible source of wisdom and colossal stories. In this work, Dámaris Romero masterfully traces everyday situations of life in Greece: superstitions, oracles, love, science, mythology... He will make us travel through time and space to the world of Pythagoras, Homer, Socrates or the famous oracle from Delphi. Throughout its absorbing pages we will feel like one more member of this fascinating society; we will discover how some of the most extraordinary episodes of the greatest Greek biographies were gestated, we will know the relevance of women, and the large amount of information that we have preserved about her, the importance of hygiene in society, or the presence and meaning of ghosts and demons in dreams and in everyday life. A rigorous and informative work to learn about the society that has most influenced our culture.
