There was a show on the Discovery Times channel last night about the Spartans and their stand at Thermopolae (sp?) I'd seen most of it before but it's still really interesting. Mentioned of course the battle of Marathon and our illustrious founder's namesake. Anyone know where I could get a good one volume history of ancient Greece?
As a matter of fact I do. Go out and grab yourself a copy of A History of the Greek City States: 700-338 B.C. by Raphael Sealey. It's not light reading but I know you can handle it.

Interesting....though my name was chosen more for its novelty than for my love of running (I only like to run while playing sports, but not in its own right). In retrospect a name like Archimedes or Pericles might have suited me better. 🙂
