Ancient history: Without the Greeks, we wouldn’t have history. The Greeks invented three kinds of columns—Corinthian, Doric and Ironic.
They also had myths. A myth is a female moth. One myth says that the mother of Achilles dipped him in the River Styx until he became intolerable.
There were no wars in Greece, as the mountains were so high that they couldn’t climb over to see what their neighbors were doing.
When they fought the Parisians, the Greeks were outnumbered, because the Persians had more men.
Eventually, the Romans conquered the Greeks. History call people Romans, because they never stayed in one place for very long.
The Ides of March killed Caesar, because they thought he was going to be made king. Nero was a cruel tyranny who would torture his poor subjects by playing his fiddle to them.
