Ancient Greece

A Look at Ancient Civilizations

by Daniel R. Faust

From art and architecture to politics, philosophy, and mathematics, western civilization owes a great deal to the achievements of ancient Greece, but what do we really know about this long-gone civilization? How did geography influence the politics of the Greek city-states? What's the difference between an agora and an acropolis? This book takes readers several thousand years into the past, when independent city-states ruled the Mediterranean Sea, to find the answers. Full-color photographs and maps, accompanied by accessible text, introduce readers to the many contributions the ancient Greeks have made to our modern society.

This is a VERY basic overview on ancient Greece. It is good for kids first grade and under, or as an introduction to the topic to gauge your older kids' interest level in the subject.
