Ancient Greece: Classical Greece and the Peloponnesian Wars, 510-323 BC

There is so much to study when you get to Classical Greece that we felt we just touched on it, but they were ready to move on, and so we did. There is always more time to get into more of the details the next time we get around to this period. We covered a lot of people this week. We also touched on the Peloponnesian Wars but there is not as much about them for the younger crowd as there was about the Persian wars. They mainly got the idea that they were between Sparta and Athens and why.
