L MI -f2:71-f,v'4 ','f 4nf14 f f:Eg:s? '- ' N V i ' l 4 G U E S S W H 0 I A M by Jerry Kelich I was a member of the first Triumvirate, and had many ac complishments to make me popular. I helped put down a rebellion in Spain. I was given a command to rid the Mediterranean Sea of Pirates. I did this in ninty days. Who am I? by Nancy Hayes I was the Emperor of Rome. My father was raised to the rank of Caesar and placed over the Western provinces. As a boy I was a hostage at the Eastern Court. When my father died his soldiers greeted me as Augustus. I presided at the Council of Nicaea in 325 and the next year determined upon the removal of the Capitol from Home to the East. I adopted the Christian re- ligion and after I became sole ruler I made it the religion of the State. In the year 357, while preparing to fight the King of Persia, I was taken 111 and died. I was buried in the Church of the Apostles at Constantinople. Who am I? by Beverly Fettlg I am considered an authority in almost every line of thought --logic, language, ethics, politics, etc. I wrote more and on a greater variety of subjects than did Plato. I am the first person who believed that the earth is round, reaching this con- clusion by noticing the shadow cast by the earth during an ecla lpse. Just as Plato was the greatest pupil of Socrates, so I am the most famous student of Plato. I was sometimes called the Nmaster of those who know.W Who am I? by Jenene Ring I was born in Florence, and I had a liberal education in Bologna, Padua, Naples, Paris and Oxford. I preceeded Rapheal and Michelangelo by two centuries and Shakespeare by three. When I was a mere youth I fell in love with a beautiful-girl whose early death led me to mourn. When banished from my home I wrote a poem which was considered the greatest piece of lit- erature of the middle ages. Who am I? by Jane Wilson I was the Prince of Greek orators, some say, of all orators. When I first began making speeches, I had trouble speaking clear- ly. So I went down to the beach often, and putting pebbles in my mouth, shouted so I could be heard above the roar of the wav- es. By doing this I soon conquered my stammerlng and became an excellent speaker. who am 1?

I 111 4-f,1zS7Q, ,rH1 'r 4F'3 ,f:E:2b 's.'i- -:: NES TS? 5 - 1 G U E S S W H O I A M by Dorothy Parr I was a Greek poet, who went from place to place reciting and singing poems. I wrote two poems around 1200 to 800 B.C. These two poems were often considered the greatest epics ever composed. Later Greek boys learned them by heart and modern cultured people also need to be familiar with them. Who am I? by Larry McElfresh I was a pupil of the great Athenian philosopher, Aristotle. The Greeks did not think I could take my father's place. I knew the Illiad by heart and carried with me a copy which at night I put under my pillow. I tamed a wild horse, out of which I made almost a companion for myself. I once said 'There can not be two suns in the heaven.' When I found I could not untie the Gordian Knot, I took my sword and cut it in two. I found seventy cities, many of which were named after me. Who am I? by Maribell Wheatly I was an Athenian philosopher. I was very well educated and at about the age of 20, I came under the influence of the great teacher, Socrates, and became his best liked pupil and companion. When Socrates died, I wrote a series of dialogues in which Socrates was the leading speaker. These are written on a high moral plane, unsurpassed outside of the Holy Writ. My republic in particular has had influence in the shaping of modern political institutions. Who am I? by Philip Jung I was a Roman statesman and general, I served under Marius in the Jugurthine and Cimbrin wars and was chosen praetor. I was appointed to the position of the command of the Roman army. From 87 to 84 B.C. I carried on a vigorous war in Greece and Asia. I forced Mlthridates to sue for peace.

Part of the time I held no office myselfg yet I determined who should hold the leading positions and the People's Assembly followed my wishes almost without question for many years. I spent money lavishly, trying to beautify Athens. Who am I?
