Education
Unlike other city states, all citizens in Aphroditus recieved an education. The higher social classes would have a better education than the lower social classes. Even the slaves in Aphroditus would be educated, but the education was extremely limited. The slaves' education would include learning about how they could best do their job and accomplish their tasks. For example, they learned how and when the right time was to harvest their crops.The highest social classes would have the best education and would be the only group of citizens that would learn to read and write. They learned about music, wrote and memorized poetry, and trained to become powerful public speakers and young men would recieve basic military training. The women did recieve an education, however they learned about different topics than men, such as cooking and sewing. The people of Aphroditus valued education, therefore looked up to the philosopher Socrates since he based his philosophies on the knowledge of man and writings by his students. In school, the children learned about him and his importance.
