[color:a78a=darkred]GROWING UP IN ANCIEN GREECE[/color]
When a baby was born in ancient Greece,
the father did a ritual dance holding the newborn baby.
The family decorated the house with wreaths of olives for boy babies and wreaths of wool for girl babies.
One main difference in the live of boys and girls was that girls didn't go to school but they learned to play musical instruments.
Girls helped their mothers with chores.
Sometimes they went to festivals or funerals.
Girls' fathers decided who they would marry.
Boys helped grow crops in the fields and they learned to sail boats and to fish.
When boys were about seven years old, they went to school and learned basic subjects.
There where no books so they had to memorize everything.
They also learned to play a musical instruments such as a lyre and they learned also about the arts and war.
At the age of eighteen , boys went to military school .
