BIBLIA: "Three" is the Anti-300

Even with its many influences on Western civilization and American culture, there is precious little the average citizen knows about ancient Greece and its people.

Learn the myths, learn some bullet point descriptions of each city state, boil it all down to a simple black and white picture of a people easily codified and move on to the next chapter.
