Ancient Greek History

Some of our year 5 students have recently finished a topic on Ancient Greek History and it prompted me to see what books in the library we have for further reading on this topic. The Ancient Greeks were famous for their mythology and three library titles featuring myths caught my eye. These books provide an easy way of introducing children to classics.

1) Mythology: The Gods, Heroes and Monsters of Ancient Greece
2) Myths and Legends by Anthony Horowitz
3) Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
