http://www.ancientgreece.com/
http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/greeks/
http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/greeceancientgreece/
These are websites that looks 'credible' - however, who created the site?
http://library.thinkquest.org/10805/greece.html
http://www.mce.k12tn.net/ancient_greece/greece.htm
Another site, Wikipedia, has a lot of credible information. However, since they allow anyone to add information under 'community portal', it may be hard to figure out which information is accurate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek
Finally, here is a site that was made by a history teacher that has information on Ancient Greece. It looks pretty good, but there is a lot of advertising. Is the information accurate? Probably, but anytime you see ads, you want to definitely compare the information for accuracy with other sources.
