Перевод: Дети в Древней Греции никогда не ходили в школу. В зависимости от своего социального положения девочки оставались дома со своими матерями или работали в полях, пока не выходили замуж. Если мальчики или девочки были рабами, они также не могли ходить в школу. Многие дети, жившие в Афинах, Коринфе и других древнегреческих городах, были рабами. Если мальчик был свободным, но бедным, он тоже не мог ходить в школу. У его семьи не было достаточно денег, чтобы платить учителю, и поэтому мальчик должен был работать дома. Государственных школ не было.

Люди, у которых были деньги на образование, старались отправить своих сыновей в школу. Они знали, что без образования и умения читать и писать мальчики не могли участвовать в политической жизни, когда вырастали.

В греческих школах был только один учитель и около десяти или двадцати мальчиков: школы были очень маленькими. Когда мальчикам исполнялось около семи лет, они начинали ходить в школу и посещали её до тринадцати лет. Мальчики учились читать и писать, а также заучивали наизусть длинные стихи из «Илиады» и «Одиссеи» Гомера. Они также учились петь и играть на лире и свирелях.
