About Ancient Greece
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The unit follows Greek history from The Minoans & Crete through early Greece, Sparta and Athens, the Persian Wars, the Peloponnesian War and Alexander the Great. Many items are community-made mind maps, backed by flashcard decks, quizzes, notes and slide sets.
Where to start
If you want a broad view first, open the mind map Ancient Greece and Persia, which touches on architecture, philosophy and beliefs. Then choose a thread:
- Sparta: begin with the Sparta flashcard deck, which asks about water supply, the five villages that united and a 5th century BCE view of the city. Then read the mind maps on Spartan religion, Role of Spartan kings and Helots Lowest Class.
- Athens: try Solon's class system, which sets out four classes based on wealth, then Athenian Democracy and the notes on the Athenian Empire and the Age of Pericles.
- Persian Wars: read The Persian Wars Explained in Detail, which runs from the Ionian Revolt to Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis and Plataea.
- Alexander: use the Alexander the Great - Timeline flashcards for dates, then the Alexander the Great Revision mind map, which weighs sources such as Arrian, Plutarch and Diodorus.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first, then test yourself. The quiz on the Greco Persian Wars asks who led the Spartans at Thermopylae and how many Greeks fought there. Check your misses against the map, then go back to the quiz. Teachers can set a map as pre-reading and a quiz as a starter.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Foundations and the Ancient World strand of History. Some resources mention GCSE History, GCSE Ancient History, A-level History and A-level Ancient History, so check each one against your own course.
When you are ready, pick one civilisation, work through its quiz and then build flashcards or a map in your own words.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start with Ancient Greece?
Open the mind map Ancient Greece and Persia for an overview, then pick one thread. Sparta, Athens, the Persian Wars and Alexander the Great each have maps, flashcards and quizzes. Starting with a map and finishing with a quiz on the same topic works well.
Which resources help with the Persian Wars?
Try the mind map The Persian Wars Explained in Detail, the Persian Wars Flow Chart and the flashcards on the First and Second Greco-Persian Wars. For testing, the revision quiz on the Greco Persian Wars asks about Thermopylae, its commanders and the number of Greeks who fought.
Are these resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking that each one matches your course. A free account lets you save quiz scores and make your own.
Which levels and exams do they suit?
Most resources are at secondary level, with a small share for other stages. Some mention GCSE History, GCSE Ancient History, A-level History and A-level Ancient History. Look at each resource's content and compare it with your own specification before relying on it.
Is there anything on Sparta's society?
Yes. There are mind maps on Spartan religion, the Spartan economy, the role of Spartan kings, women in Spartan society, Spartiates, Perioikoi and Helots. You will also find quizzes on the Spartan army, people and society, plus a Spartan Glossary flashcard deck.
What if I cannot find the topic I need?
Try a nearby topic, such as Athens, Alexander the Great or the Olympic Games, since many resources overlap. You can also make your own quiz, mind map, flashcards or notes with a free account, then use the existing maps as a guide.
