Abstract

In Antiquity children were regarded as regarded as inferior beings, whom it was permitted to kili, to send, to maim, and to maltreat whithout any limit. The family was the place where ehíldren were brought up till such time us they were ripe to enter primary school. In Greek society, step-mothers and nurses took care of infants; whereas in Roman society the mother herself was required to perform such tasks. Greek thinkers such as Plato and Aristotle in the classical period; Plutarch in the Hellenistic Age; and Quintilian in Rome-all ofthem gave sorne advice in order to direct the upbringing and early schooling of children in their youngest days.
