Athens

Athens has been synonymous with the life of the intellect, and Athens: The City as University tells you just why. It is more than a history of education in terms of curriculum and shows the position of education and ideas in ancient Athens as a whole, providing an understanding of Athenian intellectual culture across the whole social range, and within its socio-political context.
