520 $aPresents a chronicle of the author's lifelong love affair with words, filtered through her passion for all things Greek and her solo adventures in Greece.
520 $aNorris's lifelong love affair with words led her into a passion for all things Greek, and from there into solo adventures in the land of olive trees and ouzo. She explains how the alphabet originated in Greece, makes the case for Athena as a feminist icon, goes searching for the fabled Baths of Aphrodite, and reveals the surprising ways Greek helped form English. Filled with encounters with Greek words, Greek gods, Greek wine-- and more than a few Greek men-- this is Norris' fresh take on Greece and the exotic yet strangely familiar language that so deeply influences our own. -- adapted from jacket
