Read what they were reading, including ancient philosophers like Aristotle, speeches of leaders like Pericles and Cicero and stories about famous characters like Julius Caesar and Brutus. Read what America’s founders said about Greece and Rome, and think about how (or whether) ancient ideas can help us today.
