Descriptions The Groovy Greeks (Horrible Histories) PDF
History has never been so horrible! Presented in an audio format, this work features tales about horrible heroes, savage Spartan soldiers, foolish philosophers and suffering slaves. It portrays the people of Ancient Greece as uncivilised, giving an example of the Spartans, who deliberately taught their children to lie, steal, fight and kill.Apparently the Greeks (we are talking about the Ancient variety) were a rather groovy bunch. The boys didn't start school until they were seven and girls didn't have to go at all. Greek children invented all manner of cool games just for something to do, and the grown-ups invented the Olympic Games and made the men run naked.
As Terry Deary points out, though, in his Horrible Histories: Groovy Greeks, things were not always quite as jolly and some of the more disturbing facts unearthed in this funny and clever alternative to the history book are actually quite, well, horrible.
Illustrated by the talented Martin Brown, Horrible Histories: Groovy Greeks adds a certain edge to the study of Ancient Greece by getting down to the nitty-gritty of Greek life and letting rip with the kind of nasty, revolting facts that any kids would kill to get their hands on., Second Grade Reading Books .
