A festival procession in Athens climbing to a temple: priests at a burning altar, garlanded bulls, young women carrying baskets

The Road to the Harbour

ἡ εἰς τὸν λιμένα ὁδός

The festival procession climbs to the temple, the herald calls for silence and the priest waits at the altar. But the day ends badly: Philip is hurt and can no longer see, and only a god can help him. Father and son set off for the harbour to find a ship.

The third room in Classical (Attic) Greek for beginners: the festival, the doctor, money and the harbour, with the future and aorist of irregular verbs.
