Wanting Ideas for Anc. Greek Memory Work

[Parabola]

Hi. I am looking for suggestions for some kind of memory work for a 1st grader that has *something* to do with Ancient Greece. Any ideas? We generally do a chronological list of some kind, but I'm willing to consider good poetry or prose as well. TIA.

Oh thats not a bad idea. I just ordered Modern Rhymes for Ancient Times: Ancient Africa off of ebay for only a dollar. I will have to go looking for the ancient Greece one too.
Thanks!

You could look for some of the Delphic Maxims or the Precepts of Solon.

If you're comfortable teaching mythology, the Twelve Olympians are a possibility. Also the Greek alphabet.

These are great ideas too. I like the Delphic Maxims, especially since there are so many of them that leaving out the ones that aren't secular wouldn't feel like cheating to me.
And the Greek alphabet, thats a good idea too, because one comes across Greek letters in several disciplines.

Wonderful, now I've got some options. Thanks!
