What was daily life like for a child in ancient Greece?
Picture a sunny morning thousands of years ago, in a land of white marble cities and olive trees. A Greek child is waking up. No phone, no school bus, no breakfast cereal — but a whole day waiting, full of chores, games, and surprises. Let's follow them around.
