Answer 1

Boys in ancient Greece started formal schooling at age 7 to learn how to read and write.

Step-by-step explanation:

In ancient Greece, boys started formal schooling at the age of 7 to learn how to read and write.

Before the age of seven, boys were educated at home. Once they started school, subjects included reading, writing, mathematics, music, and physical education classes that prepared them for future military service.

At the age of 18, it was compulsory for boys to serve in the Greek army.
