Education
Men Education for men was a significant part of their culture. A boy would start school at the age of seven and continue on until the age of eighteen. Boys studied arithmetic, geometry, drawing, music, and gymnastics. By the age of fourteen they had to choose their career path, such as being a philosopher, writer, blacksmith, etc. They could choose whether to be part of the government or the military, or could major in something related to these careers.

minimal subjects, but focusd more on learning household duties. Women excelled at weaving, cooking, cleaning, and jewelry and cloth making. They were not able to take part in the government or many other activities, so would mainly stay home and take care of their house and kids. |
