30 biographies including Agememnon, Lycurgus, Aristides the Just, Pericles, Socrates, Alexander the Great, Aristotle, and Ptolemy, with an intro section on the gods of Greece and a closing section on the Fall of Greece (146 B.C.), 126 pgs.
If the Romans were history's great men of action, the Greeks were history's great men of thought. Dive into the lives and minds of thirty-two famous Greeks through stories detailing the rise, Golden Age, and fall of Greece. The triumphs of Aristotle, Ptolemy, Odysseus, Pericles, Alexander the Great, and many others will enable your students to understand why the scope of Greek accomplishment is still known today as "The Greek Miracle."
Our Famous Men of Greece Student Workbook includes famous quotes, a drill of key people and places, 10 vocabulary words, 5-10 comprehension questions, and an activities section with mapwork, discussion questions, and research projects. The Appendix contains maps, a "Who Said That?" worksheet, a timeline, drill questions, and drawing pages. The first 11 lessons are a review of Greek mythology and are therefore not included on either the Final Exam or the Famous Men of Greece Flashcards.

Flashcards are now available for the Greece, Rome, and Middle Ages series. These list the "famous man" on one side and basic information about him on the other.
We absolutely love the Famous Men series from Memoria Press. It helps us so much with context as we read classical literature. It is such a joy to see my kiddos light up when they come across…
