It's that time of night again - Friday night chat time.
Sorry for lack of posting today. I've had heaps of material, but I've been distracted with researching books that link into what we are studying in our history to buy from Amazon for the kids. Here's an example of what I've been looking at:
Black Ships Before Troy: The Story of The Iliad
The Wanderings of Odysseus: The Story of The Odyssey
In Search of a Homeland: The Story of the Aeneid
Gilgamesh the Hero
D'aulaire's Book of Greek Myths
I home-school and have been slowly moving to a more classical approach. I recently bought The Well Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home, a book that spells out in detail how to teach in this way, and it's blown my mind, so to speak.
