The Life and Times: Pandora of Athens 399 B.C.
by Barry Denenberg
Pandora is trapped in the roles laid out for Greek women by her narrow-minded father. Much to her despair,she is engaged to marry a man more than twice her age, so that Pandora waits with dread for her fourteenth birthday, when she'll be old enough to marry. But one day, when Pandora goes to fetch water, she meets the Wise One, who is also called Socrates, and what he tells her changes her life. During his famed trial, Pandora finds herself caught up in the intrigue and turbulent politics of ancient Athens.

Excerpt:
Alcander fell asleep right there, where he was already nearly fully reclined, on the dining room couch. Polybius excused himself to study, and Meander drifted off into the night without even saying good-bye. Since it was Thursday, Pandora assumed he was going to attend the cockfights.
