Description

This is the third volume of the ILLUSTRATED HISTORY series, the ideal collection to learn history while having fun. The text is full of amusing illustrations and visual jokes that help children understand the historical facts that are narrated more easily. Find out who the Greeks were, their most famous figures and their religion, as well as which of their contributions to art, culture, or politics are still present nowadays. The ancient Greeks were the most awesome traders and sailors on the Mediterranean Sea. Their culture was so important that it laid the foundation for everything that would happen in Europe afterward, and they made unmatchable contributions like inventing democracy and pioneering the Olympic Games. Find out who Alexander the Great was, how the famous Trojan War and the Battle of the Three Hundred were fought, what the great Wonders of the Ancient World were-the Oracle of Delphi, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, and the statue of Zeus in Olympus-and how the Greeks influenced the entire Western world with their sculpture, theatre, and architecture.
