Stories from Greek & Roman History brings together Ethelwyn Lemon's Stories from Greek History and Lena Dalkeith's Stories from Roman History, two engaging early twentieth-century introductions to the classical world. Lemon recounts memorable episodes from Greek history, including the lives of Solon, Themistocles, Pelopidas and Epaminondas, Timoleon, Demosthenes, and Alexander the Great, while Dalkeith introduces readers to such figures as Horatius, Coriolanus, Hannibal, Fabius Cunctator, Scipio Africanus, Pompey, and Julius Caesar. Rather than presenting antiquity as a dry chronology, the authors use carefully chosen stories and personalities to introduce young readers to the history, struggles, and achievements of ancient Greece and Rome. Well suited to homeschooling, classical education, family reading, and students beginning the study of ancient history.
