Though they couched their stories in terms of gods and goddesses, the ancient Greeks wrote of emotions and virtues, human strengths and frailties which still speak to us today. Their tales have found their way into our vocabulary and they leaven our literature. They are foundational blocks for our culture which should be familiar to every Catholic home school child. Our two most popular selections are D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths, beautifully illustrated retelling of the timeless tales, and Introduction to Classical Studies: Memoria Press Study Guide to Greek Myths, Bible Stories and Roman History , a book designed to be used with D'Aulaires' Myths, the Golden Children's Bible and Famous Men of Rome.

 The epic of Gilgamesh the Hero   is one of the oldest stories in the world dating back at least to 2700 B.C. Beowulf, the Warrior is the oldest epic in the English language.
