History with the nasty bits left in! ‘The Groovy Greeks’ is full of fab facts about the hip ‘n’ happenin’ Greeks, who hung out over 2000 years ago. Find out about horrible heroes, savage Spartan soldiers, phoolish philosophers and suffering slaves. Want to know why some groovy Greek girls ran about naked pretending to be bears, who had the world’s first flushing toilet, and why dedicated doctors tasted their patients’ ear wax? Read on for some amazing information on awful ancient food, groovy Greek Olympic games and the gruesome god who ate his own children. History has never been so horrible!

I liked the gods.

This book has lots of facts, but it wasn't a page turner for me. I'd recommend this book to people who are really interested in ancient Greeks.

This Horrible Histories book tells you all about the Ancient Greeks in different formats, from comic strips to diary pages so you are intrigued. However, it is quite gory and gruesome in some ways and tells you much more than you would learn at school.

I loved it! The thing that interested me was that it was a history book and I love history (mostly Horrible Histories). My favourite part is when it is telling you about the Olympics games and how the romans banned them when Greece became a part of their empire.
