This study, first published in 1964, presents a highly readable but
scholarly account of Greek education as exemplified by Athenian
practise in the period 450-350 B.C. In a substantial introductory
chapter the story of Greek education is traced from its origins in
Mycenaean times down to the Classical period. This is followed by a
lengthy chapter on the actual practice of education at Athens, in
which many misconceptions are reviewed. The work of each of the
great educators is explored in turn. Plato is situated against the
more normal, 'democratic' tradition of Greek education as
represented by the sophists and Isocrates. There are chapters on
Plato's Academy and Xenophon, both of which have been curiously
neglected in most writings on Greek education. The central
importance of myth and poetry in the early period and their
transformation into science, philosophy, history and rhetoric in
the Classical period are recurrent themes throughout.
