The paragraph below contains a list of several books for the younger generation (grades 5-9) that deal with the heroic story of King Leonidas, the 300 Spartans and the Battle of Thermopylae. To view the specifics of each of these titles, please access the respective links:
'Leonidas - Hero of Thermopylae' by Dr. Ian Macgregor Morris
'The Lion in the Gateway' by Mary Renault
'The Spartan' by Caroline Dale Snedeker
'Theras and His Town' by Caroline Dale Snedeker
'Great Battles and Sieges - Thermopylae' by Philip Steele

While this list is in no way comprehensive, if there are other books in your students' curriculum that others may enjoy relative to the Greek-Persian Wars, please contact me and I will add them to to this page. Thank you.
   
 
Perhaps one of the finest set of books for the students from the 10th grade and beyond is the Osprey Publishing Series. The materials contained within each of these titles cover the major areas and serve as an informative introduction to the Greek-Persian Wars era. Of particular interest, are the detailed images, which serve to complement the text written by the authors.
