Education
In Agesilaus’ kingdom, ancient Sparta, education consisted primarily of military training: a Spartan citizen needed to be courageous, strong, skilled in warfare, and highly obedient, so that was what Spartan education produced
n ancient Athens the situation was very different. Athens too had state-provided military training, but only for two years and only in a boy’s late teens; this was a period of military service, not a complete education as in Sparta. Any training that Athenian children received in reading, writing, literature, music, etc. was up to their parents to arrange and pay for.
Hope this helps
