Produktbeschreibung

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. The work of each of the great educators is explored in turn. Plato, the sophists and Isocrates, Xenophon. 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.
