Description
The best reference work ever produced to guide the student on a selective timeline tour through ancient history, outlining major events and personalities and noting the primary literary sources. Leads you through the maze of ancient literature to help you find the reading most appropriate for your family. Large, 8-1/2" by 11" lay-open paperback.
None of us can travel backward in time to observe events as they happened in ancient days. So what's the next best thing? We can experience these events through those who were actually there - seeing what they saw and hearing what they heard. We can read the original accounts as they have been preserved for us. This book is a guide to doing just that.
Sure, it may sound impressive to say we've read Herodotus or Plutarch, but that's not the point. The point is that if we've read these ancient histories, then we've heard "from the horse's mouth", so to speak. And now you can catch the story first-hand, with this valuable reference work. In addition to the other features already named, this contains biographical information on all ancient authors with important excerpts from their writings and an extensive use of history curricula which can be used along with this book. Recommended for parents and teachers to use with children ages 12 and up.
