Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, Ares, Aphrodite, Hera, Athena, Artemis, Hestia, Hermes, Hephaestus, Hebe, Demeter, Dionysus, and Hades--this teacher resource focuses on the twelve Olympians, who were the major gods and goddesses of the Greeks and Romans. Listed in alphabetical order, each Olympian receives a brief historical and factual account, and an overview of the deity's place in both Greek and Roman society. Each chapter includes "Story Telling Time," which is a retelling based directly on a primary ancient source, either Homer, Homeric Hymns, Ovid, or Vergil. The stories closely follow the ancient text, preserving the similes, metaphors, and imagery. Lesson units can be used together or individually. Student Activities augment the learning experience. Among the striking infographics are an Olympian family tree and a chart that organizes each God or Goddesses' Roman and Greek name, personality attributes, realm, symbol, and city. Materials in this resource are fully reproducible.

A large group of scholars, most notably classicists, have discovered convincing evidence that the role of the classics during the colonial and revolutionary periods had a deep impact on the thought and action of early Americans. These scholars point to the ubiquity of classical quotations, tags, references, and fine arts that colonial Americans made both symbolic and practical use of, in abundance. The classics provided unparalleled examples in how to conduct a virtuous and moral life. Inspired, motivated, supported, and influenced by the examples of antiquity, colonial American revered and utilized the classics unlike any other generation in the post-Roman history of Western civilizations. Early Americans were fascinated with the parallels between the careers of George Washington and Cincinnatus. Cincinnatus symbolized for Americans all the qualities that were good in a leader. In Washington, the people were given a nearly mythical hero whom thy could admire, trust, and imitate. The two became intertwined, creating parallels between the new America and Ancient Rome. This resource offers a plethora of primary source references of the two heroes and their connections, as well as other early American and Ancient Roman leaders. Reproducible masters include word searches, comparison charts, internet search items, and map activities.

What will tomorrow bring? The Greek and Romans were as curious about the future as we are today.

Reproducible masters include word searches, charts, diagrams, and maps, as well as internet and group activities. Contemporary tie-ins include a student analysis of the Farmers Almanac.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

About the Book In historical fiction the plot is set in the past, and pays attention to the manners, social conditions and other details of the period portrayed. Some authors choose to include famous historical figures in their fictional plots, so that audiences can imagine how those individuals might have responded to the plots and environments established by the author. The Western literary component of this genre is founded in the early 19th century works of such authors as Sir Walter Scott, Honoré de Balzac, James Fenimore Cooper, and Leo Tolstoy. Also in this Book Our offering includes memoirs, or collections of memories that individuals have written about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in their lives. While the assertions made in these works are generally taken to be factual, the biases or perspectives of the authors are often present. Historically, memoirs have been defined as a subcategory of biography or autobiography, however the genre is differentiated in form, since it presents a narrower focus. While a biography or autobiography tells the story "of a life", a memoir generally tells the story "from a life", tending to emphasize touchstone events and turning points in the author's life experience. The authors are referred to as memoirists or memorialists. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades.

We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
