What to read after Meet the Ancient Greeks?

The opportunity to go back in time and experience history as it's happening would be an invaluable way to understand ancient cultures. Readers of this creative text set in the year 415 BC are invited to the city-state of Athens while it's preparing for war. After helping a slave escape, the narrator is just one step ahead of an angry overseer. However, the chase allows for chance meetings with a whole cast of characters who shed light on the Greek culture of that time, including an actor, an athlete, a Parthenon priestess, and even the famous philosopher Socrates!
