Welcome to Ancient Greece. This may be the fist time many of you are in my site. It is in your best interest to bookmark this site. The format for each section is the same. There are notes, information, and links to more notes. Most notes are used in class, some are not. This site is not undermine the material I teach in class, rather, it is to reinforce and help when things are not clear. I do not plan to update the notes every year. It is my prerogative to add and subtract from the core material while teaching in class. These notes are the bedrock of my instruction. Every section will have the most commonly used essay questions. There are bonus sections. I will not mention them in class, it is up to you to look back at the sections we are studying.

Here are the links to the notes for Greece. Have fun
