Publisher's Description of Book of the Ancient Greeks
Dorothy Mills wrote some wonderful history books in the 1920s for use by middle school students, and Memoria Press is proud to bring these books back into publication—with added illustrations!
The journey continues, starting in Crete and ending in the Hellenistic Age, ushered in by Alexander the Great. Students learn about the development of democracy, the primordial defense of democracy in the Persian wars, the heyday of Athens (also known as the Golden Age), and that sad self-destruction known as the Peloponnesian Wars. But it is not history alone—culture, values, and life lessons are taught.

Why did you choose this?
Would this satisfy or be sufficient for an introductory high school course?
If you did the complete course in the link, it would be about a semester of work. https://www.rainbowresource.com/bkangk.html
And you could do the Romans the next semester. https://www.rainbowresource.com/bkanrm.html
Would this satisfy or be sufficient for a high school introductory course?
It depends on what "sufficient for high school" might mean in your homeschool, but it works for us. We operate according to Charlotte Mason philosophy, so we read and my kids narrate in as much detail as they can. It's interesting, informative, and gives them a true sense of life in that time and important events.
Required curriculum for FPA 8th grade, lower price than others.
required by school for 9th grade
