Answer 2

Greek History focuses a lot on either male focused topics, the olympiad and similar factors of Greek life but there is not really a lot about greek Childhood.
The culture was focused a lot on the Adult Male world with less given to Female and Childhood issues during the greek time.

I have a couple of links for you to try: http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/greeks/people/index.htm
Gives a small overview of the Greek view of the work and focus, which unfortunately limits a lot of what we know about the Greek culture due to the focus factor of their bias in records.

Another fine link is to the University of Pennsylvania EDU website.

http://www.museum.upenn.edu/Greek_World/Index.html

Greek Philosophy provides much of the basis of Western Thought, so it is deeply ingrained in all current modern Sciences, and philosophies modified though the ages.

Any History of Psychology textbook should give you a decent inclusion of the effect of the philosophers on Psychology, and how the Greeks perceived their world.

Their world was a a world of slaves and generally speaking aristocrates who were afforded the luxuries of having slaves take care of the home, children and the like allowing philosopher's the freedom and luxury for the first time in human history to devote a great deal of time pondering human existance and understanding.

I hope these links help and you can find further information.

Answer 3

Some boys went to school and studied stuff like Greek, rhetoric, math, philosophy, poetry, stuff like that. Most girls were trapped at home and learned girlie stuff like weaving and cooking with olives. Few girls were educated outside the home--hetaira, which were high-class hookers (courtesans, I guess you could say) were well-educated, but usually a girl would have to be a priestess at a temple to get an education and get outta the house.

Now, in Sparta, all the kids were taught military stuff, like strategy, phys ed, shooting weapons, stuff like that. War was equal-opportunity for them.

Broke kids would work as soon as they were able, like kids around the world. Farming, fishing, whatever their parents did. Ancient Greece wasn't a particularly wealthy society, so when you talk about people who could afford to educate their kids, you're talking about a select group. Plus, kids didn't get to be kids for a really long time--no extended adolescence. Most went to school for a few years, if at all, just to learn the basics. Only a few got to go on and be philosopher king-types.

Check pedagogy, temple stuff, military education, academies in Greek history texts/sites.
