Sleepy Stories of Daily Life in Old Athens: Trade & Home

Take a slow, deep breath, settle under the covers, and let the stresses of your day quietly drift away. 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. Find The book of the ancient Greeks by Dorothy Millshttps://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/68180   *note I am experimenting with helping searchability by using AI to write my descriptions, nothing you hear is touched by any AI, it's all me*  Supporting Sleepy Time TalesIf you would like to support my work and help keep the podcast available and for free, there are several ways you can support the show.·        You can support the show as a supporter on Patreon and receive a host of bonuses including Patron only episodes and special edits https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetales·        If you’re enjoying Sleepy Time Tales and would like to make a financial contribution, but would rather not commit to a monthly payment then you can throw a tip in the jar at https://ko-fi.com/sleepytimetales PatreonSleep Tight PatronsChuckRobertaTraciCarlaAYAmyJacqueSoniaAbbieGinaGwenJenniferMindyNancyChristyneWendyKreesti Please ShareIf you’re enjoying the show, and finding it helps you sleep despite the stresses and strains of your life, the absolute best thing you can do is share it with your friends, families, acquaintances, cellmates etc. Anyone who needs a good night’s sleep might benefit.So please share it with the people in your life, whether in person or on social media. Find The ShowWebsite: https://sleepytimetales.net/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetalesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sleepytimetalespodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SleepyTimeTales Merch: https://sleepy-time-tales.dashery.com/ Project Gutenberg Terms of Usehttps://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Terms_of_Use
