And, so begins our month-long study of Ancient Greece. History Odyssey schedules three weeks, but I am adding an extra week just to read Greek myths and other popular Greek literature. This week, we hit on Sparta, the Battle of Marathon and the history of the first marathon. Next week, we will study daily life.
