Greenleaf vs. Memoria with Famous Men

Hi there, starting Module 2 this next year and I am gathering books.  I’ve read several threads on here comparing the two, but it seems that I haven’t discovered one thing.  I know that he Greenleaf for Famous Men of Greece has b/w pictures and the editing by the Shearers with the content in the front that explains the myths.

I know that the Memoria has the color pictures and mostly the same words.  BUT, does it, too, have something in the front that explains the myths?

I’m sure that I will be able to ‘wing it’ with the Memoria one by reading the right selections, and I would love to have the color pictures.  I just don’t feel comfortable explaining the part in the beginning.

Help?

Thanks so much,
