Geographical location of
Athens in Greece
The Athens
Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece.
Athens dominates the Attica (administrative)
region and is one of the world’s oldest cities with
its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years
and its earliest human presence starting
somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennium
BC. It was the main educational, intellectual and
cultural center of Ancient Greece.
Aims of Athenian Education
To make citizens trained in the arts;
To prepare them for both peace and war
Aimed to cultivate the students' physical,
mental, and moral qualities
From Athens we get the motto: (mens sana in
corpore) “a sound mind in a sound body”. All
schools were very small private schools, and
education was very valued.
The balance between body and soul was
the main target of the Athenian education,
the noblest the worlds has known .
