United States -- History
_(g)_ A description of the materials, methods of building,
decoration of public buildings, and the uses of the temples,
theaters, gymnasia, and stadia in Fowler and Wheeler's Greek
Archaeology, ch. 2; and Tarbell's History of Greek Art.
_(h)_ Some may wish to read the careful statement in Holm's History
of the Greeks, Vol. I, pp. 103-121, on the Truth about the Old Greek
Legends, or the same author's account, Vol. I, pp. 272-295, of

B. ANCIENT TIMES. THE ROMAN PEOPLE. (For use with chapters v, vi,
vii, viii and ix.)
_(a) Histories of the Romans_.
Either Botsford, History of Rome; Pelham, Outlines of Roman History;
How and Leigh, History of Rome; or Schuckburgh, History of Rome;
though the last two do not cover the entire period of Roman history.
Duruy, History of Rome, 8 volumes, is attractive in style and
supplied with a great variety of pictures and other
illustrative matter.
Botsford, History of the Ancient World; Goodspeed, History of the
Ancient World; Myers, Ancient History; Wolfson, Essentials in
Ancient History; and West, Ancient World, give short accounts of the
chief events in Roman history.
_(b) Versions of famous old Roman stories_, especially the
wanderings of Aeneas, the Story of Romulus and Remus, of the Sabine
Women, Horatius at the Bridge, and Cincinnatus.
A.J. Church, Stories from Virgil; C.M. Gayley, Classical Myths; H.A.
Guerber, Myths of Greece and Rome; the same author's Story of the
Romans; Haaren and Poland, Famous Men of Rome; and Harding, City of
Seven Hills. Macaulay, Lays of Ancient Rome, gives the story of
Horatius at the Bridge, together with several other stories from
early Roman history.
_(c) Versions of the German myths about Odin (Wodan), Thor, Freya,
and Tyr (Tiw)._ C.M. Gayley. Classical Myths; Guerber, Myths of
Northern Lands; Haaren and Poland, Famous Men of the Middle Ages;
Mary E. Litchfield, The Nine Worlds; H.W. Mabie, Norse Stories; Eva
March Tappan, European Hero Stories; Alice Zimmern, Gods and Heroes
of the North.
_(d) The Story of Hermann_ (or the struggle between the Romans and
Germans) is told by Arthur Gilman, Magna Charta Stories, pp.
139-155; and by Maude B. Dutton, Little Stories of Germany.
_(e) Short Biographies of some famous Romans_. Short accounts of the
lives of Romulus, the Gracchi, Caesar, Cicero, and Constantine are
given in Haaren and Poland, Famous Men of Rome; Harding, The City of
Seven Hills; and several of them in Plutarch's Lives. A simple
account of the Life of Hannibal, the Carthaginian enemy of Rome,
will also be found in these books.
