Davis imagines a visitor set down in Athens in 360 B.C. and shown about by a knowledgeable guide. The tour takes in the harbour at the Peiraeus, the crowded Agora, the furnishings of a house, the lives of women, slaves and schoolboys, dress, doctors, funerals, banking and trade, with each scene grounded in ancient sources.
