Jane's adventures
This blog is about my travels. At home in New Zealand, in other parts of Oceania, North, Central and South America and in Europe.
The Lyceym, the school founded by Aristotle in 334BC, is a short subway ride away from the centre of Athens. Being so ancient, there isn't much to see left, but it is amazing how much archeologists have still been able to piece together about this school of philosophy and gymnasium. Only priviledged (male) youths were permitted to attend. The school also contained a library containing thousands of parypus scrolls. Some of these were lost, but others were transcribed and translated and some of these are still with us today.
