I can't recall which exact thread it was, but I was reading a book recommendation thread and the book "A Year in the Life Of Ancient Greece" by Philip Matyszak was recommended. I enjoyed learning about ancient Greece in the past and this seemed manageable (under 300 pages), so I read it over the course of this last week.
I really liked it! I normally enjoy fantasy/sci-fi, so while I knew I liked ancient Greece I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this historical fiction. It basically told the story of various ancient Greek lives over the course of nine months up to the Olympics, each person with a different life/livelihood accurate to ancient Greece. Following the Builder and the Farmer were likely my favorite parts.
Edit: I forgot I commented on that thread, it was the one from seven days ago about asking for novels set in Ancient Greece or about a warlock pact
