Thank-you for your suggestions! I definitely would like to read more on this...do you have any specific books to recommend? I have thought about going back to school to get a Masters in Classics, but don’t see that happening anytime in the near future...
I would get it online by using Google. I used to read classic literature regarding history. However, biographies and seeing multiple points of views online tend to have helped me more with a balanced point of view. The slant a liberal author tends to input into a ‘classic’ piece of literature when attempting to put things into historic context was starting to annoy me.
