We are having such a good time on the History Word Association game. Coming up with some really obscure and funny things. To keep those brain juices flowing I'm putting out an Historical Acrostic for us to have fun with.

Here is how it works: I'll give you the foundation for the acrostic. You need to provide a word or small phrase that relates to the foundation word and begins with a foundation letter that is available. Here is an example:

Henry VIII
Inquisition
Spanish Armada
Troy
Oregon Trail
Red October
Y - this letter is open so you would fill it in.


If this does not make sense let me know.

Here is the current Acrostic:

A
G
A
M
E

N
O
N

Enjoy! smile

I re-read your directions & it seems like you are asking that letter have a new entry. Thus building the acrostic vertically. I originally thought you were looking for the various results & I added in phrases that were associated with the acrostic base... oops?

Atreus of Mycenae (father)
Greece
Achaean Commander at Troy
George Shipway, authored �Warrior in Bronze�novel about Agagmemnon
Mycenae Throne
Electra (daughter)
Murdered by wife, Clytemnestra, &/or her lover, Aegisthus
Noble King & Warrior
Odyssey accounts for his murder upon returning from Troy
Not on friendly terms with Achilles

Correct.

Now, we need someone to fill in the A or another letter.
