Year 12 Ancient/Modern - Poll Results

Sorry it's taken a while...but here are the latest poll results:

The Battle of Stalingrad got 100% of the votes for 'most interesting battle', of the three we study. Which I agree with...an incredible and tragic event in world history.

As for Athenian statesmen, 44% of you thought that Themistocles was the greatest, with Aristides close behind on 33%. The rest of you went for Pericles.

New poll up after the trials.

Year 12 Ancient - Lives of Eminent Commanders

Welcome back to Term 3, Year 12 Ancient. We have an intensive few weeks coming up, where we will aim to finish the rest of the course, and begin revising for the Trial HSC. Tutorials will start next week, most probably on Monday afternoons at 1.30 or so. I will keep you posted on that.

For now, here are the links to the ancient Roman sources (written by Cornelius Nepos, c.50BC) on some famous ancient commanders:

Miltiades
Themistocles
Aristides the Just
Pausanias
Cimon

Remember, you need to know all five of these guys for the HSC, plus Eurybiades and Leonidas.
