Synopsis "Ancient Greece "

A retelling of Greek mythology and ancient history as recommended for Steiner-Waldorf curriculum Class 5-6 (age 10-12). This welcome new addition to Charles Kovacs' work contains legendary stories of mythical heroes and historic figures from the dawn of western civilization. Through the fearless deeds of Heracles, Theseus and Odysseus to the Golden Age of Athens and the conquests of Alexander the Great, the narrative vividly portrays the journey from the mysteries of antiquity to the birth of modern medicine, science and philosophy.

Charles Kovacs was born in Becs, Austria, on February 8, 1907. He leaves his native country in 1938 during the annexation of Austria by the Third Reich and enlists in the British army in East Africa. After World War II, he settles in Great Britain and in 1956 begins his work as a Main Class teacher at the Edinburgh Waldorf-Steiner School, where he remains until his retirement in 1976.
During that period, Charles Kovacs writes extensive notes of his classes day by day. Since then, these texts have been used and appreciated for many years by teachers in Edinburgh and other Waldorf Schools. They cover topics of history, mythology, and sciences.
He dies in Edinburgh in September 2001.
