Some sample questions from this category:

* In one of the pivotal battles of the ancient world, 300 Spartans held a mountain pass against a Persian army of thousands. At the end, every Spartan lay dead, but precious time had been gained for the rest of the Greek army. Name the battle.
* Speaking of Troy: in the nineteenth century, what archeologist defied scientific opinion and dug near the Hellespont, discovering the remains of a great city believed to have been Troy?
* It seems like the Greeks were always fighting the Persians and winning, but once, the Persians almost won. What desperate naval battle saved the people of Athens and of Greece?
* Who devised the laws that would later govern Sparta?
* Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, was king of what nation?
