You Wouldn't Want to Be a Slave in Ancient Greece: A Life You'd Rather Not Have by Fiona Macdonald
A cartoonish look at life as a slave in ancient Greece. Explores various aspects of cultural life in Ancient Greece from the perspective of a female slave, including clothing, hairstyles, household chores, spinning wool, farming, and so forth. Includes some rather, um, interesting tips about how to survive as a slave. For example, "Keep your clothes on in the mine. They'll make you hot and sweaty, but stop poisonous chemicals from seeping into your skin."
