Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome

The author sets before the reader a lifelike picture of the deities of classical times as they were conceived and worshipped by the ancients themselves, and thereby to awaken in the minds of young students a desire to become more intimately acquainted with the noble productions of classical antiquity. The aim was to render the legends, which form the second portion of this work, a picture of old Greek life; its customs, superstitions, and princely hospitalities, for which reason they are given at somewhat greater length than is usual in works of this kind.

Classical Kids: Hallelujah Handel!

Hallelujah Handel presents a selection of excerpts from Handel's music, including orchestral work, choral numbers, concertos, and sonatas. The Classical Kids series is not designed for knowledgeable listeners; it was recorded for children unfamiliar with music, and in that sense it provides a good introduction for its audience. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

The Story: In 1750, George Frideric Handel gave musical history's greatest gift - his Messiah - to an orphanage in London

Is it music only?

Women’s Influence on Classical CivilizationWomen’s Influence on Classical Civilization

Written by an international range of renowned academics, this volume explores how women in antiquity influenced aspects of culture normally though of as male.
Looking at politics, economics, science, law and the arts, the contributors examine examples from around the ancient world asking how far traditional definitions of culture describe male spheres of activity, and examining to what extent these spheres were actually created and perpetuated by women.
Women’s Influence of Classical Civilization provides students with a valuable wider perspective on the roles and influence of women in the societies of the Greek and Roman worlds.
