The Greeks & Romans: The Thales Canon

History, as the name implies, is a story, and history, at its best, is the most engaging and exhilarating story. As a story told about the past, the study of history contains meaningful insights about the present; insights that, if properly presented, should inspire students to make better choices in the future. Thus, the study of history holds a particularly important role in classical education, for history class offers the very best examples of human achievement for students to study and to help form their character for the better. Classical education takes students through the great books, so those great students can take on the whole world. The Thales Canon is designed with this goal in mind for Junior High students. The Greeks & Romans presents a survey of ancient history from Archaic Greece to the birth of Jesus Christ. Chapters include readings on the geography of Greece and Italy, the rise of Athens, Sparta, and Rome, a survey of consequential wars such as the Persian Wars, the Punic Wars, and the Gallic Wars, along with many other events and heroes in between. Each chapter includes reading, vocabulary definitions, full-color maps, and reading comprehension questions. This book also includes extension activities on subjects like Greco-Roman pottery and sculpture, as well as primary sources from the likes of Herodotus, Livy, and the New Testament.
