Accuracy of fact in this book is accompanied by entertainment. Vladislav Petrov describes in detail the life of little Greeks and at the same time tells how pedagogy was born in the depths of ancient Greek philosophy. You will learn how boys were raised and what girls were prepared for. What schools did Greek children attend, what subjects did they study, and who were their teachers? What role did music play in Greek education and why was so much attention paid to physical education? Why did the Athenians strive to raise a person in whom everything was beautiful, and the Spartans raised a warrior spirit in their children from the cradle? And also why the ideas that were hidden behind the mysterious words “kalokagathia” and “paideia” determined the life of European civilization for thousands of years to come.
