Greek History I and II Booklist

Greek History I (GH1-B)

First Semester | 16-week Course Plan
 
Greek History I & II, two-part, full year course.  Making of the West starts the journey off with a brief introduction to the empires of the ancient Near East and eastern Mediterranean. From there we begin our study of classical Greece with The Histories by Herodotus, an account of the Persian Wars and the Greek fight for freedom. We will spend the latter part of the semester with Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War. Thucydides describes the effects of empire and war on civilization as Athens and Sparta engage in a fierce struggle with each other for control of Greece.

Greek History II (GH2-B)

Second Semester | 16-week Course Plan
 
This is the second part of a two-part study started in Greek History I.  This second semester, which is optional, we spring into action with Xenophon’s lively account of the March of the Ten Thousand, followed by Plutarch’s celebrated studies of famous Greek leaders, supplemented with brief selections from Plato’s works. Finally, we look at the legacy of Alexander the Great.
