Ancient/Classical History/Expert Profile
Expertise
Along with teaching classical Literature for over thirty-eight years, I have also taught history of the Greco-Roman cultures. History and Mythology are, in my opinion, inseparable; it is necessary to have a background in both to have a clear understanding of both ends of the spectrum, the myth and the fact.
Experience in the area
Thirty-eight years of teaching.
