"Buried Cities: Pompeii, Olympia, Mycenae (Complete)" by Jennie Hall is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book delves into the fascinating stories of ancient cities that were preserved under layers of ash and earth, notably focusing on Pompeii, Olympia, and Mycenae. It brings to life the cultures, events, and daily lives of the people from these cities, painting a vivid picture of their history and the circumstances that
led to their burial. The opening of the book captures the reader's attention with a foreword that invites young readers to engage their curiosity about history, similar to the thrill of finding buried treasures. Hall introduces a character named Ariston, a Greek slave and artist who finds himself in a Roman household in Pompeii. As he works on a mural, he is caught off guard when the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius begins, leading to chaos as the once lively city is engulfed in destruction. This opening sets a gripping tone, highlighting not only Ariston’s artistic aspirations and longing for freedom but also the imminent tragedy that will affect all of Pompeii's inhabitants.
