The author had a very jovial way of getting the different aspects of what a classical education includes
I was always found Greek Mythology, particularly, very interesting. However, Caroline Taggart managed to show me just how incestuous, among other things, the gods of Greek Mythology were. I laughed at their antics as well as finding myself thinking just how weird they all were.
I would definitely recommend others to read this book especially if you want a concise account of classical education that helps to demystify this area of education.
