  • detailed chapters on social phenomena, such as Greek religion, slavery and labour, the family and the role of women
  • clear, precise translations of documents taken not only from historical sources but also from inscriptions, graffiti, law codes, epitaphs, decress, drama and poetry, many of which have not previously been translated into English
