American writer Jacob Abbott brings us classical history without the dry facts and analysis of a textbook. His stories, written in the grand style of the 19th century, capture the mystery, beauty, and adventure that make reading about history exciting. Adapted for 21st century readers by the Society of Classical Poets, this book includes stories of the Oracle at Delphi; the Battles of Marathon and Thermopylae; and the Lives of Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. Here, heroes and legends come to life and moral character and virtue play central roles. This is epic!
