Product description
Apparently the Greeks (we are talking about the Ancient variety) were a rather groovy bunch. The boys didn’t start school until they were seven, and girls didn’t have to go at all. Greek children invented all manner of cool games just for something to do, and the grown-ups invented the Olympic Games and made the men run naked. But as this Horrible History shows you, things were not always quite so jolly… and some of the things the Groovy Greeks did were actually, well, quite horrible! So read on to see…
- Why groovy Greek girls ran about naked pretending to be bears
- Who had the world’s first flushing toilet
- Why dedicated doctors tasted their patients’ ear wax! Ugh!
... plus many more yucky facts about the Groovy Greeks!

on 8 August 2010Very useful for homework and Terry Deary cleverly combines the boring history lessons your teachers drone on and on about and fun bits of plays and humour to engage kid`s interest in this choosen subject. I especially enjoyed the comic strips and diaries. In a nutshell, it`s awesome! Check out the I`m a Greek part one and two music videos on the website.

on 7 June 2009This is a great book. It uses humour and comedy to help you to understand some of the things which the Ancient Greeks did. These books are great for school projects and are not at all boring. I recommend this book for everyone, especially history lovers, school children and people who are interested in ancient civilizations. If you have already read this book, I recommend that you read the rest of the series (which I have done), as they are great as well. There are quotes, speeches and illustrations, which help you to understand the necessary facts.
