In tonight’s soothing bedtime reading from Dorothy Mills' The Book of the Ancient Greeks, we gently explore the calm world of classical antiquity. We begin along the sunlit waters of the Piraeus harbour, following the steady rhythm of Athenian sea trade, before stepping indoors to wander through the quiet domestic routines of ancient society—from the soft-spoken pastimes of Athenian gentlemen to the peaceful sanctuary of the home. Designed to give your busy mind a calm, gentle place to rest, this quiet historical tale offers just enough detail to distract you from the day without keeping you awake. Adjust your pillows, relax your shoulders, and sleep well.
