Education was very different than other greek arilstants ,girls stayed with their mothers and learned with them.Boys were taught at home until they were about six years old,where they learned to read and write.

Girls from rich families get married younger.Many people had slaves living in the house with them too.The children stayed with their father,learning to run the farm or business they would inherit.Girls got married at the age of 12-16 and the men got married at the age of 25-36 like today.

GREEK MYTHS

The Gift of Fire (Zeus,Prometheus) was limiting because with the information they gave you it was making you infer what is this information and how they are describing and re-wording it.So that the reader would have to figure out this information by themselves.In the Gift of Fire they were talking about how the gods thought of humans as toys.Also they thought fire was important to many others,Prometheus was chained to a rock for stealing.
Sun Chariot
Was a revealing story because it let you know most things without trying to cover it or hide it.Gods used to ride chariots, and Apollo was now the god who brought up the sun each day,Helios had to give his job to Apollo.

Andromeda and Perseus
was limiting because it only gave you a certain amount of information. Punishment was that you get tied to a rock,also if you had punishment you would probably get fed to sea creatures,Perseus was a
hero to Andromeda because he saved her from a sea creature.

I think that folklore is limiting because in each greek myth it is certain amount of information or any of folklore stories it is a certain amount of information and I think if you read a lot of stories you might think that it is now revealing.
