Education: Education was key in the city- state of Eliacmeans. Men were educated on military defense, for they were not in charge of trading and economics. Men were trained for military in their early years from ages 10-20. The men who were voted to be leaders received a higher education when they were elected. Women would receive education in trading and economics in their younger years as well from ages 5-15 so that they would be prepared for the work in years to come. While girls and boys went to school for education, they also learned by shadowing their parents or elders. For example, the boys would often watch the men in the military and help out where as girls would watch the women harvest or take care of the marketplace. This was done for the children so that nothing would be completely new to them when they began to work in the later years to come. Slaves did not receive any education, for there was nothing they needed to have a full understanding of since their main job was to care for the houses.
Philosophy: Philosophy in the city-state was not as valued as it was in other city -states such as Athens. While Athens encouraged philosophy, Eliacmeans found no need for it. Everything was in order, so there was no need for change. If people began thinking about new ways to do things, the balance of the city-state would tremble.
