In this light-hearted frolic through antiquity, Haynes, a British comedienne, considers modern life from the point of view of the ancients, musing on what Athenian democracy might teach present politics, the impact of Greek and Roman drama, literature and philosophy on contemporary life, and casting a thoughtful eye over subjects as diverse as the role of women and the position of God in society.
