Project Information

 

Much like the NFL, NBA, and MLB, we are going to create our own Hall of Fame.  However, we are going to nominate people for our Greek Hall of Fame.  We are going to analyze the impact of classical Greek contributions on Western civilization. 

 

Your research should include the following areas:

Field(s) of experience

Contribution(s), including the names of books written.

Summary of their most important ideas/perspectives.

Quotation: may be about the person or from their work.

Significance of their word today.
