We begin our look at the civilization of ancient Greece...Like Egypt, Greece was an amazing and powerful empire, one which produced an incredible amount of achievements in the fields of art, literature, government, philosophy, religion, science, mathematics, medicine, and warfare. We will focus primarily on the century between 500-400BC, a 100 year period which may have seen more advancement in these areas than in any other 100 year period in history...The impact of Greek culture reaches down through the corridors of time to us today, influencing much in terms of how we live...Go to the website http://www.ancientgreece.co.uk/ and explore the various links as they are assigned and have fun learning about the incredible period and this incredible empire!!
