Tours: Education in Alexandria

Learn how young Alexandrians were educated.
<tabber>
|-|Essential Knowledge=
The education of young Alexandrians did not differ from the one generally dispensed elsewhere in Ancient Greece.
At the age of seven, the child was taken in charge by a tutor, who then became responsible for instilling an elementary education, as well as good moral principles.
|-|Sports, but not only=
Teaching was generally done outside, in the open air. In the gymnasium, students were taught not only sports, but also topics such as rhetoric, philosophy, music and poetry - all things deemed essential to ones' education at the time.
|-|Inclusive Gameplay=
(Behind the scenes)Here, both boys and girls are shown attending a class given by one of the rhetoricians of the era.
The team made the choice to show both genders attending class within the context of the game world. Even though it is historically innacurate, the team felt it was not necessary to prioritize historical sexism over inclusive gameplay.
