Original Sources for Great Men series?

Hi Drew,

A useful thing for a parent would be a bibliography for the Great Men series, especially Greece and Rome. I've read enough of Greek classics to be able to locate on my own many of the stories in translation but I haven't read much Latin in translation. A reference for the parent such as (Bk IV, Virgil) or some such thing for each chapter in the Great Men of Rome series that would be very useful.

If I knew where to find the original stories for myself not only would I be able to discuss more with my child but I would probably select a passage and read it directly to him and perhaps even have him memorize a line or two.

Great idea!

I myself don't know what all the sources are. Some, I assume, must come from Livy, but I don't have all the details. Maybe the folks at Memoria Press could help?
