Cross-platform version copyright 2004 J-PROGS
Two Greek Myths version 2 builds on earlier J-PROGS programs. The new software has full-colour, light-hearted animations of various adventures, including the Cyclops confrontation, the mutilation of Procrustes and others. The stories are told with respect for their ancient origins but in a way which will appeal to modern students. Dynamic maps are included of the voyages made by the two heroes and each story has two quizzes attached to it, which test facts, names and places.
There is a section on Mycenaeans and another one on Minoans, with pictures of sites in Crete, Santorini and the Peloponnese. Each of these sections has two quizzes attached to it, bringing the total number of quizzes to eight. This is a complete treatment of ancient Greek history which will be useful in any school where non-linguistic study is made of the Greeks through either Classics or History lessons.
In addition to the software, over 70 full screen images are included on the CD-ROM, which can be used freely by the schools which buy a Site Licence. These are all original photographs, taken by the author in Greece, especially for inclusion in this new program.
System requirements:
Two Greek Myths 2 can
be used on any modern Mac or PC with at least 32 mb of RAM and a 14
inch monitor. It can be used directly from the CD without installation
or it will take up around 60 mb of space if installed on your hard disk
or network, where a site licence has been purchased. It will run on any
Windows system from 95 to XP, or on a Mac, from OS 7.5 to OS X.
