This book offers an assessment of the content, structures and
significance of education in Greek and Roman society. Drawing on a
wide range of evidence, including the first systematic comparison
of literary sources with the papyri from Graeco-Roman Egypt, Teresa
Morgan shows how education developed from a loose repertoire of
practices in classical Greece into a coherent system spanning the
Hellenistic and Roman worlds. She examines the teaching of
literature, grammar and rhetoric across a range of social groups
and proposes a model of how the system was able both to maintain
its coherence and to accommodate pupils' widely different
backgrounds, needs and expectations. In addition Dr Morgan explores
Hellenistic and Roman theories of cognitive development, showing
how educationalists claimed to turn the raw material of humanity
into good citizens and leaders of society.
