Freeman is an essay on the practice and theory of ancient Greek education written in the early 20th century. This scholarly work spans the period from 600 to 300 B.C., exploring various systems of education in ancient Greece, particularly in cities like Sparta and Athens. The book examines not only the educational practices of the time but also the underlying philosophies and ideals that shaped the education of young citizens. The opening of the essay introduces the author's observations on the significance of education in ancient Greek society and presents the unique structures of Spartan and Cretan educational systems. Freeman notes that education in Sparta was a state-controlled, rigorous institution focused on physical training, discipline, and preparing boys for military service, with a stark contrast to the more liberal and diverse educational practices seen in Athens. He highlights that Spartan boys underwent harsh training in a highly regulated environment, while Cretan education shared similarities, though it offered less strictures. This comparative approach sets the foundation for a thorough exploration of how ancient Greeks approached the development of character, physical fitness, and intellectual growth in their youth.
