Mystery of History Volume 1: Week 26: Lessons 76-78 – Socrates, Hippocrates and the Statue of Zeus, and Ezra and Arezxerxes

Lesson 76: Socrates

Along with the lesson on Socrates, the kids are continuing through their Usborne Books on The Ancient World and Ancient Greece. We have both, so I have enough to go around.

Lesson 77: Hippocrates and the Statue of Zeus

This lesson covers two different things, both of which are important and historic. Hippocrates had a profound impact on medicine both in the ancient world and today. Each of my kids copied the Hippocratic Oath for their copywork. And as the Companion Guide suggests, we are memorizing the seven wonders of the ancient world, including the Statue of Zeus.

Lesson 78: Ezra and Artaxerxes

As we continue to read Victory on the Walls: A Story of Nehemiah, we also read the MOH lesson on Ezra and Artaxerxes. I like the chart of Mesopotamian Kings included in the Compaion Guide. We aren’t trying to memorize them all or anything, but I like how it validates the trugh of the Old Testament narrative. Many of these kings are mentioned in scripture, and are well known to history.

We concluded this lesson with the Bible Project Video of Ezra and Nehemiah:

To finish up, we added these events to our timelines, did the mapwork in the Companion Guide, my 10 & 13 year olds added the corresponding sections to their labpooks (folder books), and everyone did the Week 26 review quiz.

Think outside the school. It's here! My latest Knowledge Keepers book is a collection of true American Christmas stories, and you can order it now on Amazon. The stages of a homeschooled child: Grab some leftover pie and hop over to NickiTruesdell.com for all the homeschooling, motherhood, and worldview gifts! NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON! We know that the pilgrims of Plymouth came to the shores of this country because of religious persecution. But did you know that wasn’t the only reason? Easy peasy, and it only takes 100 years or so! We live in a world of revisionist, cynical history, and it’s often difficult to find accurate resources about Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims, and their life in the Old World and the New. So I’d like to help you by sharing a list of great books to read with your family, as well as some traditions that really illustrate the history in a memorable way. Discounts in our shop! Discounts on Etsy! Discounts on Amazon!
