In the year 2164 time travel is possible and the technology is owned by Finn Greenquill, a money hungry entrepreneur. This is the travel guide provided by Time Corp for ancient Greece. Travelers are introduced to the major cities of Athens, and Sparta; they participate in the historic battles of Thermopulae and Salamis; they learn about the Greek gods, the philosophers, playwrights, mathematicians, and, if they survive, they will see the fall of the Greek Empire to the Romans Includes information on the Oracle of Delphi, the 7 wonders of the world, hairstyles, fashion, and food. You learn about Zeus and Athena, the Olympics (how to win a marathon) who and what to avoid when in battle and so much more.
This humorous, illustrated travel guide is so fun to read! This is the third, after the American Revolution and Ancient Rome. I love recommending this series - it makes history so much fun. Includes a bibliography for the serious scholar.
