Meet teenagers like Timarete, a young woman artist, and Cosimo, a trainee bard. There's Lysander, who wants to be an actor, and Cassie, who wants the right to vote. Sebastian is an oarsman who dreams of owning a market stall, while Agnodike has become a female doctor, against the odds. We'll introduce children working on farms, in pottery workshops and barber's shops. You'll hear the clash of weapons, gossip at the market, music lessons and philosophical debate. You'll even watch the ancient Olympics!
