Overview
In this Discovery you will learn about the worlds of Ancient Greece and Rome. From the rise of Mycenean Greek civilization in 1600 B.C.E. to the fall of the western Roman empire in 476 C.E., these two cultures not only dominated much of the Mediterranean for over two millennia but also had an enormous impact on world history. This discovery will introduce you to the complex and diverse societies that flourished during this period, focusing on their literature, religion, art, and mythical world.
