1. Literacy And Paideia In Ancient Greece
A study of how reading and writing were woven into Greek cultural education, arguing that literacy was neither universal nor merely technical but a formative element of paideia that shaped social status, political engagement, and intellectual life; it traces the shift from oral to written practices, the limited and context-dependent uses of writing in law, commerce, and private correspondence, the role of schooling (especially Homeric and grammatical instruction) in producing literate elites, and the ambivalent attitudes toward writing’s effects on memory, authority, and moral formation.
