The title of this website is: �Ancient Greek Civilization� and was written by Jennifer Taylor. This is a
credible website designed to inform the reader about Ancient Greek culture. This website is perfect for what
we are studying because it includes information about the history of Ancient Greek civilization, the �rise of
the Mycenaean�, Homer, the Odyssey, the Iliad, �The Greek Dark Ages�, and the �Rise of Greece�. It also
includes information about the different cultures of the Aegean, (such as the Dorians, Ionians, Phoenicians,
and Amazons), the cities of Greece, and aspects of culture and people in Ancient Greece. This website goes
in depth on citizen and slave classes in Athens, and the women of Athens and Sparta. It also explains the
culture of Sparta, and how it was so different from any other Greek city-state. There is a Greek timeline that
explains the different Greek periods starting with the Bronze Age that began in 3,000 BC and ended in 1100
BC, and the timeline ends with the Hellenistic Age that began in 330 BC and ended in 30 BC. Overall, this
site very well explains ancient Greek culture and history and goes in depth on issues such as the different
class levels and time periods.

This website is created for students, and provides pictures of the Hellenistic Period in Persia. It goes along
with what we are studying because it provides information about Persia, and explains a lot about the
Hellenistic age. This site is very useful because it provides links to different topics, and has resourceful
information specifically on the Peloponnesian war which took place before the Persian war. There are
several different sections throughout the site that explain, in depth, on the severity of the Persian war, and
how the Greeks took over Persia, which led to the Hellenistic Period. What is especially nice about this site
is that it is put into simple words, and does not try to be pedantic, like some other historic websites. It is
very easy to understand, and does not take a very long time to comprehend what they are writing about.
The site also includes pictures of pottery and articles that are from the Persian war and Hellenistic age that
help students to see what it might have been like to live back in that period of time.

This site was written by Richard Hooker, and deeply explains the Peloponnesian war. This fits in with what
we are learning because it talks about the Ancient Greek city-states, and how Athens and Sparta get into this
civil-war. It talks about how Sparta was jealous about Athenian wealth and power, and was not happy about
the 30-year peace agreement they had agreed to. The site explains further on how in 431 BC Athens and
Sparta fall into the �Peloponnesian war�, and how Sparta burns all of the Athenian crops, to make the people
in Athens suffer and starve to weaken them. This website was very well written, and provides much more
information than the average person would write about, or even know. It fully explains the Peloponnesian
war from 431 BC all the way until it ends in 404 BC. Overall, it is a very educational site, and very
resourceful for a prospering student.
