I Love watching movies and one of the category is that of mythology, you might call it a subject or whatever you want to. Why do I strip only the mythology out of the many it is because it concerns with the course I am doing at present in my philosophical venture, ‘History of Western Education.’
My mind goes down to those days wherein I screened the movies such as odyssey (the cartoon version), 300 (Sparta), Alexander - the Great or rather the Great - Alexander, Hercules (1994), Troy, 10,000 B.C, Apoclylipto, Remember the Titans, Clash of Titans. I must say that the movies helped me learn another culture, the history and the traditions, the background and the reality of the place.
Make an attempt to see the above mentioned movies if not then there is another option which I enjoyed doing reading here to there are no barriers as to what to read for me so I did read some of the mythological books and even volumes which there were.
The reason why I am sharing about my interest and love for Greek mythology is because today in class we had the topic of Greek education, in which I learnt or rather gained insights on the Spartan & Athenian Education and Theories of Socrates, Xenophon, Plato, & Aristotle.
Reflecting on this education what comes across to me is that education of the Greeks was mainly focused on body, character, and intellect. I think and feel that even I need to improvise on these gifted graces.
