﻿1
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:14,758
"How did you get into my room?" the young girl in blue asked.

2
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:16,488
"We're lost.

3
00:00:16,489 --> 00:00:22,539
We're looking for a statue of a woman," Mandy said quickly.

4
00:00:22,540 --> 00:00:27,083
"Lydia, bring Jason," the girl in blue said.

5
00:00:27,084 --> 00:00:29,042
"He'll know what to do."

6
00:00:29,043 --> 00:00:31,877
The other girl bowed and left.

7
00:00:31,878 --> 00:00:36,678
"Is Lydia your friend?" wondered Mandy.

8
00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:40,219
"No, she is our slave.

9
00:00:40,220 --> 00:00:44,276
Most Greeks have slaves," said the girl.

10
00:00:44,277 --> 00:00:46,001
"Who are you?"

11
00:00:46,002 --> 00:00:49,742
The children introduced themselves.

12
00:00:49,743 --> 00:00:53,221
"My name is Callia," said the girl.

13
00:00:53,222 --> 00:00:55,675
But she did not smile.

14
00:00:55,676 --> 00:00:58,381
"This cloth is very pretty,"

15
00:00:58,382 --> 00:01:01,811
Mandy said, trying to change the mood.

16
00:01:01,812 --> 00:01:03,481
"Do you weave?"

17
00:01:03,482 --> 00:01:09,592
"Yes, I do. I am making cloth for my wedding," said Callia.

18
00:01:09,593 --> 00:01:12,305
Her anger was almost gone.

19
00:01:12,306 --> 00:01:16,868
"After the Olympic Games, I will be married."

20
00:01:16,869 --> 00:01:22,079
"Married?" Mandy cried. "You're so young!"

21
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,866
Now Callia smiled.

22
00:01:24,867 --> 00:01:27,474
"You're not from Athens, are you?

23
00:01:27,475 --> 00:01:32,223
Girls here marry when they are 14 years old."

24
00:01:32,224 --> 00:01:35,759
"Callia!" a boy's voice called.

25
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,536
"Jason!" Callia cried, running to greet him.

26
00:01:40,537 --> 00:01:44,753
Jason was careful not to step into the room.

27
00:01:44,754 --> 00:01:49,423
Callia introduced the children to her brother.

28
00:01:49,424 --> 00:01:54,677
"You are lucky my sister has a good heart," said Jason.

29
00:01:54,678 --> 00:01:57,541
"Father will not hear about this.

30
00:01:57,542 --> 00:02:00,935
This room is only for women and girls.

31
00:02:00,936 --> 00:02:04,608
Men and boys are not allowed here."

32
00:02:04,609 --> 00:02:08,679
Vinnie quickly moved to stand beside Jason.

33
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:14,945
"They say they need to find a statue of a woman," said Callia.

34
00:02:14,946 --> 00:02:17,869
Jason burst out laughing.

35
00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:22,207
"Athens has many statues of women!" he said.

36
00:02:22,208 --> 00:02:24,407
"Can you tell us more?"

37
00:02:24,408 --> 00:02:33,573
"She has a big helmet," said Mandy, "and holds a smaller woman with wings in her right hand."

38
00:02:33,574 --> 00:02:37,806
"Wait, you speak of Athena," said Jason.

39
00:02:37,807 --> 00:02:40,543
"She is the goddess of our city.

40
00:02:40,544 --> 00:02:44,601
That statue is in her temple, the Parthenon.

41
00:02:44,602 --> 00:02:48,342
It is at the top of the Acropolis."

42
00:02:48,343 --> 00:02:51,939
"The Parthenon!" cried Mandy.

43
00:02:51,940 --> 00:02:55,283
"I'll take you there," said Jason.

44
00:02:55,284 --> 00:02:59,015
"But I am going to the gymnasium first."

45
00:02:59,016 --> 00:03:04,271
"Thank you," said Vinnie and Mandy.

46
00:03:04,272 --> 00:03:08,149
The children followed Jason through the house.

47
00:03:08,150 --> 00:03:11,427
The home was built around a courtyard.

48
00:03:11,428 --> 00:03:15,829
Mandy noticed a kitchen and a workshop.

49
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:19,415
People were coming and going.

50
00:03:19,416 --> 00:03:22,208
One room had couches.

51
00:03:22,209 --> 00:03:26,859
Some people carried small barrels into this room.

52
00:03:26,860 --> 00:03:31,072
One person carried what looked like a flute.

53
00:03:31,073 --> 00:03:35,140
"We hold symposia there," Jason said.

54
00:03:35,141 --> 00:03:37,219
"No girls allowed."

55
00:03:37,220 --> 00:03:40,019
He smiled at Vinnie.

56
00:03:40,020 --> 00:03:42,746
"Symposia are dinner parties.

57
00:03:42,747 --> 00:03:44,443
We eat and drink.

58
00:03:44,444 --> 00:03:47,322
We discuss many important things."

59
00:03:47,323 --> 00:03:49,610
Jason winked at Vinnie.

60
00:03:49,611 --> 00:03:55,663
"Of course, we have a lot of fun too!"
