Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3 MB
Overview: Did you know that while the Greek civilization is thousands of years old, Greece itself has only been a nation since the early 1800s?
Many people know about the glories of ancient Greece: the Acropolis, the Parthenon, the sculptures, the writings of Homer, and the adventures of Achilles and Jason and the Argonauts. They know about the Greek gods and goddesses, of Zeus, Athena, Apollo, Hermes, Aphrodite, Poseidon, and many others. Even the term “Trojan Horse,” named after the trick that the Greeks played on the inhabitants of Troy, has made it into our language. Ancient Greece gave us philosophy, math, medicine, the roots of many languages, and so much more.
And then…nothing. The Golden Age of Greece ended more than two thousand years ago, and that’s where most people’s knowledge ends, but in the over two thousand years since the glories of Athens and Sparta, the Greeks have endured occupation, rebellion, slavery, war, and triumph again and again.
Your knowledge of Greece is about to get an update. In this new Captivating History book, you will discover the truth about modern Greece.
