The History of the Manners and Customs of Ancient Greece, Volume 1 (of 3)
James Augustus St. John published The History of the Manners and Customs of Ancient Greece in three volumes in 1842, with the aim of describing not the wars and politics of the Greeks but how they lived. This first volume begins with the original inhabitants of Hellas, the character of the Greeks, the geography of the country and its two capitals, Athens and Sparta. The second book is devoted to education, from the birth and naming of children, infanticide and nursery tales to toys and games, elementary instruction, athletic exercises, hunting, the schools of the philosophers and sophists and the training of the Spartans. The third book, on women, opens with the heroic age and the Doric states. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
