    About this audiobook

    Jim Weiss narrates thrilling episodes from the history and culture of ancient Greece, including the Olympics, the 300 Spartans, and the wisdom of Socrates. In these vivid, true stories, Jim Weiss takes you back 25 centuries to Golden Age Greece. You'll charge into land & sea battles to defend the world's first democracy against a vast, tyrannical empire; attend the original Olympics; hear history's most famous storyteller, Homer, spin his classic adventure, "The Trojan Horse;" laugh and learn with Socrates, the wisest (and funniest) man in Greece; and meet artists and authors, as well as typical families, in the rival cities of Athens and Sparta. Jim Weiss's "Courage and a Clear Mind" is sure to inspire your own exploration of the potential that lies within us all.
