Question
I have to write a 1500 written word paper about a Genius from the Classical Greek, Hellenistic or Roman historical epochs and my question is what Genius from any of these groups would be the most interesting and where I can find some information on that specific Genius?
The answer to your question depends on several variables such as personal interest and preferences, subject area, etc.
My choices would be:
1 Plato of Socrates - philosopy
2 Homer and Vergil for literature - Mythology
3 ALexander the Great or Caesar - political
There are literally multiple websites that will gicve you information on any of these geniuses.
Try the following:
GOOGLE - http://www.google.com
YAHOO - http://www.yahoo.com
JEEVES - http://www.askjeeves.com
AllTheWeb.com - http://www.alltheweb.com
AltaVista - http://www.altavista.com
Good luck on your research.

Expertise
Along with teaching classical Literature for over thirty-eight years, I have also taught history of the Greco-Roman cultures. History and Mythology are, in my opinion, inseparable; it is necessary to have a background in both to have a clear understanding of both ends of the spectrum, the myth and the fact.
Experience
Thirty-eight years of teaching.
