John H. Oakley is the Chancellor Professor Emeritus and Forrest D. Murden, Jr. Professor Emeritus in the Department of Classical Studies at the College of William and Mary. He is co-author of Coming of Age in Ancient Greece: Images of Childhood from the Classical Past and the author of Picturing Death in Classical Athens: The Evidence of the White Lekythoi, The Greek Vase: The Art of the Storyteller, and many other books and articles.
John Oakley's many books have illuminated virtually every aspect of
Athenian black- and red-figure vase-painting. Here he presents a
panoramic view of day-to-day life in the ancient city as reflected
on some of the finest vases. The book is as entertaining as it is
authoritative." - Alan Shapiro, Johns Hopkins University
"A clear and useful presentation of many areas of life in ancient
Athens. Selecting Athenian vases as evidence is the perfect choice,
because they survive in such large quantities and because their
iconography is so rich and informative." - Tyler Jo Smith,
University of Virginia
"A volume that gathers discussions, illustrations, and references
while simultaneously addressing itself to a broad audience is long
overdue. Among possible authors, John Oakley is without question
the perfect person to write it." - Sheramy Bundrick, author of
Athens, Etruria, and the Many Lives of Greek Figured Pottery
