Greeks

A firm favourite. We have taught in Greece and will be returning in 2024. We concentrate on the Classical period, but put it in context by looking at the myths from the Bronze Age. We also consider the importance of Alexander the Great, and the great scientific discoveries.

• Athens and Sparta, life for boys and girls

• The roles of men, women, slaves and barbarians

• Children, schools and the alphabet

• Hippocrates, medicine, and some very impressive science

• What made the Greeks such good soldiers – very popular!

• Alexander and the Hellenistic world

• Games of probability and chance
