Here’s my list of 10 things that I learned over the course of studying Greek classical literature and history. Many (or most) of this would not be surprising for those who have read it, of course, but they were new to me. Most of this information comes directly from the epics themselves, as well as from tragedies that were based on the Trojan war.

I was trying to decide how I can vary my reading between Greek literature, history and philosophy. I wanted to follow somewhat a chronological order and so I decided to do a timeline, using the software Timeline by Bee Docs.
