Early this morning my husband left to go the agora (marketplace). As usual I have to stay home to take care of the children, to cook and to make family clothes. I already baked bread which we ate soaked in wine and water for breakfast. My son is 7 years old and he started to go to school this year. My daughter is not allowed to go to school even though she is 13. My husband already decided who she will marry. Her future husband comes from a good Athenian family. In two years she will marry him. Today my husband will bring some friends home for dinner the servant and I will roast a lamb over the hearth. We will prepare the men’s dining room with couches so they are comfortable. My family has plenty of money but we are modest and do not buy many luxurious things. We like our life.
