I haven't looked too close into Socrates but Plato I think was definitely great, also Aristotle is pretty good
Aristotle sounds good also
Looking into Greek Gods is also kinda interesting
Yeah the myths are a bit intruiging
What was the one book about the guy who cames back from Troy and gets lost
Where I sort of drift from all of it is with the whole pederasty issue, which Plato absolutely condemned but people like Socrates I think practiced
Not sure.
Oh the Odyssey
I really dislike reading about WW2
Yeah it's completely overdone
Especially when it comes to NatSoc Germany
Courses really don't go in depth to the classical and middle age period enough
Nearly my entire Euro history course was from the Renaissance and forward
I have read one good German WW2 book and it was about the Germans on the East Front
I love reading about Greek and Roman history man
Vikings are kinda good
"The Dark Age" is one of the biggest lies to be perpetuated by academia really
Yep
I remember my fucking APUSH teacher back in the day said some nonsense about "the Europeans were just as savage as the Indians were a century before the renaissance", just idiocy.
well Britain was hurt pretty badly by the post-Roman invasions
those hurt the least badly were under Byzantine, and, later, Caliphate rule
very sad
Yes but it they exaggerate it so much and don't even bother to look at anything before the Renaissance period in any real depth
ah
" nowadays they're making AP World after 1400 AD only"
wtf
that doesn't make sense
That is a new development
I haven't heard about that damn
I missed USH 2 Honors by .6
Sad!
I might take AP History Senior Year
Probably not a bad thing when it comes to AP World tbh, they usually take the period between 600-1450 to talk about "the glories of Islamic civilization" and how the Europeans were backward. Still it's an absolute shame that they're not looking into the antiquities period anymore.
Of course, they'll still use it to perpetuate anti-European propaganda and all
I don't really have that at my school
I mean I do find retarded shit in the books but it's not bad
They always hate on my boys Jackson and Polk though
Yeah they demonize them so much
It really is a 1984-esque system
