To Live the Good Life is a story set largely in ancient Athens in the last three years of her independence, 324-322 BC. The novel features such worthies as Aristotle, Demosthenes, Hyperides, and the celebrated, mysterious courtesan, Phryne, whose beauty inspired the famous statue of Aphrodite by the sculptor, Praxiteles.
