The Corinthian Girl is a brilliantly illustrated tale of one girl's epic achievement, from slavehood to champion athlete in the great Herean Games (the girls' and women's version of the Olympic Games) of Ancient Greece, held in the Olympic Stadium.
Born in Corinth, abandoned as a baby, she becomes a nameless slave until her strength and skill are noticed by a famous athlete. Her spirit and courage take her to victory in the Games, to freedom and to fame.
Christina Balit's superbly detailed illustrations of Ancient Greek life add an extra dimension to her story of the Corinthian Girl and make it an excellent resource for any classroom or home library, especially during a child’s time studying this period in history.
