The Greek alphabet, from alpha to omega

The history and characteristics that define Greek and Roman architecture and its influence on modern building

Greek and Latin words, which make up more than 30 percent of the words in the English language, and how you can build your vocabulary by learning the roots

The Greek and Roman gods, the mythology surrounding them, and the part these figures play in our culture

Almost 1,000 years of Greek and Roman history, from the birth of democracy to Caesar's empire

The philosophies taught by Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle and what their ideas have contributed to the world we live in today

How modern cultural staples such as the Olympics were formed by classical literature written by authors such as Homer and Cicero

A fascinating introduction to the world that became the foundation for Western Civilization, The Classics puts the same information from stuffy textbooks at your fingertips in one entertaining read. Make this and all of the Blackboard Books(tm) a permanent fixture on your shelf, and you'll have instant access to a breadth of knowledge. Whether you need homework help or want to win that trivia game, this series is the trusted source for fun facts.
