Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

This era cannot be compared to later generations. The price of papyrus is still relatively expensive for civilians. It is generally used for formal writing. Children learn to practice sand and use sand. So Patroclus prepared a wooden frame filled with soil and waxed it. Writing on the tablet can be stored for a long time, it is convenient to carry, and the price is low, but Patocross’s parents are reluctant to spend this money.As for the folding wooden chair, it is a masterpiece of the newly built Christosia school supplies store. The price is also cheap, and it is welcomed by the public as soon as it is launched. It is much stronger than the simple wooden stool made by Patroclus’s parents.

Therefore, when Patroclus took the gift from Aguilas, he jumped with excitement.

"Village head, this...this..." Parian Andros, who had just murdered his son Baba, faced the former veteran and now the prestigious Aguilas, with a look of gratitude and a little cringe, I wonder what to say. it is good.

"What is this!" Aguilas stared at him?: "Little Cross saved several villages. This is the reward he deserves! I'm optimistic about this child. He has the courage, the brain is flexible, and he doesn't panic when things happen. When he can read and count, he will be stronger than you in the future!"

Father Aguilas' evaluation of his son, his father was so excited that he claimed to be.

The mother covered her face, and tears could not help but shed.She remembered the hard days that she had taken her children to follow her husband over the years. The husband worked as a porter at the port terminal, took the children to accept employment, and helped the merchants to watch stalls in the market. Every day from morning to night, not only I have to endure the discrimination and difficulties of customers, and I have to endure the severe heat and cold. I have collapsed several times during heat stroke, without pay, and have to compensate for the lost goods. I really don’t know how those hard days survived... Fortunately, the city of Dionysia The alliance was established, and the great consul Daveus was in power. Poor foreigners like them had the opportunity to become city-state citizens, own land and houses, and live a stable and prosperous life...

Therefore, she hopes that her children will not follow the old path of their husbands, learn good knowledge, and take up public office in city-states in the future to live a decent life.

After breakfast, put the school supplies in a brand-new linen schoolbag, and Patroclus was led by his mother to the shrine at home.In the past, only the simple statues of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, and Ares were worshipped here. One was to hope for a good harvest of farmland, and the other was to protect the husband who served as a legionnaire during the war.It wasn't until the child was going to school that the statue of the sun god Apollo was added, because this god also controlled literature and art.

Under the leadership of his mother, Patroclus finished praying to Apollo.

The mother handed over four drachmas to her son, which was the tuition fee for one academic year.After she repeatedly told, Patroclus finally got on the road.

At this time, the sky was just dim, and the crescent moon could still be seen faintly. Fortunately, in summer, he was wearing a linen jacket and bare legs, otherwise the dewdrops on the roadside grass would definitely wet his clothes.

The cool and fresh morning breeze mixed with the smell of earth and the smell of some vanilla, blowing on Patroclus, let him relaxed and relaxed, unable to restrain the excitement, roared twice, and heard the "dumpling" coming from the ditch beside the dirt road "Goodong!" The voice was that the scared little fish was making a blame.Before leaving, Patroclus will take off his leather sandals and jump into the ditch to make a fuss, but today his thoughts flew to school early.

He was carrying a schoolbag, carrying a wooden chair and a wooden frame, humming a little key, and striding forward.

On the avenue, pedestrians increased significantly.Passengers in horse-drawn carriages, caravans full of goods, farmers carrying burdens... Of course, many parents took their children to the school to register, and the bustling crowds rushed to the city of Turi, as well as the ports and markets.

In Davis’s original vision, the site of the Dionysian school should be built on the slope of the west bank of Turriy, on the north bank of the Delo River, where there are mountains and waters, and there are large areas of wasteland, which is conducive to the further expansion of the school. In the future, the Dionysian Academy will be built near the school, turning it into the largest educational base of the Dionysian Union.

However, in their discussions with Kunogolata, Davers temporarily dismissed the plan. After all, most of the school’s students are children. Building a school on the north bank of the Tylo River is not only far away, but it is still desolate. , The children not only consume too much physical energy, but also do not guarantee safety, so the school was eventually located in the delta zone at the center of the confluence of the Krati River and the Koseni River, which is not only part of the large city of Turi, but also just right Located at the midpoint of the Subari Plain, it is more convenient for children of Dionysian citizens on both sides of the Krati River to arrive at school on time.

None of the veterans objected because they knew that this was for the children of Dionysian citizens, which of course included their own children, so the building efficiency was very high, and within less than half a year, the fence was built, Classrooms, school buildings, and playgrounds are naturally impossible to be beautiful in such a short time, but the playgrounds for children to play and train are large enough to accommodate all parents and children who come to register today.

Thousands of people were crowded on the playground, and in fear of an accident, Ansitanos also invited patrols to maintain order.

Patroclus stood in the line and looked away.He found that there were not many children who signed up alone like him, and few children as old as him, so when a lot of curious eyes bet on him, he felt a little uncomfortable.

At this time, there was a commotion from behind the team, and the noise was getting louder, and everyone around looked back, which made Patroclus very curious.

"It is Lord Christopher's wife and his daughter!"

"Sir Davers is very young, how could his daughter be so big?!"

"That was his adopted daughter, who is said to be the daughter of Marcelis, the former governor of Amendolara..."

...

Daughter Davis?!Patroclusus listened to the comments of the people around him, and was even more curious. He crouched down and looked up through the seam. What he saw was a tall adult woman with elegant temperament and beautiful appearance. Like the beautiful god Aphrodite imagined in his young mind, he has an indescribable beauty.And beside her was a lovely-looking girl. Although she was a little shy when she was watching, she was quietly and curiously looking around. When she noticed the young eyes in the gap, she didn’t. Dodge, instead, eyes wide open and shining.

Patroclus quickly avoided shyly.

"Madam, please come ahead!" Not only out of respect for Davis, but also out of gratitude to Christoya, because her bank has helped many families, so many people are willing to give up themselves s position.

Christoya expressed gratitude and declined politely.As the wife of the most powerful power of the Dionysian Union, the smart Christoya always asks herself as an ordinary citizen in public, and does not give any objections to Davis’ opponents, if not consider Today's registration is very important to Cynthia. She originally planned to let Asuna accompany her daughter. For this reason, she specially wore a simple dress and accompanied her daughter's Dao School as low-key as possible. As a result, it caused some confusion.

Finally, order was restored and school registration continued.

It was Pat Lockrose's turn. Under the watch of the staff, he said his name and his parents' names, and handed in the certificate issued by Aguilas.

According to the admissions regulations of the Dionysian school: only children of Dionysian formal citizens can enter the school.On the one hand, it is to reduce the pressure on the school and control the number of students; more importantly, to let the Gentiles and slaves working in Dionia know that only those who become full citizens of Dionysia can enjoy these rights, which makes Dioni The status of sub-formal citizens is even more precious, prompting them to work harder to achieve this goal.

Patroclus’s parents were only preliminary citizens, and according to regulations, he was not eligible for school.But Aguilas applied to the senate for his excellent performance in the war. In view of the child's contribution in the war, the veterans finally made him a special case and gave the green light.So Patroclus was actually the only student in the school whose parents were not full citizens of Dionysia.

He didn’t know his particularity. After the staff found his name in the student roster and confirmed his identity, he looked at him with interest, took over the tuition he paid, ticked his name, and Encouragement: "You will study in Class 1 in the future. Go, study hard, little one!"

Patroceros hurried out of the crowd and came to the edge of the playground, where rows of buildings were hung with a large wooden sign with the Greek letters written on them.

Patroclus was dumbfounded because he knew nothing, so he had to ask others.

"Hello, where is classroom number one?"

At this time, a clear voice came from behind: "Classroom 1 is beside you, idiot!"

Patroclus turned around and saw that the daughter of the governor Davis he had seen before was standing behind him, his big eyes staring at him, and a round smile on his round face.

"Cynthia, it's very impolite to say that, and quickly apologize to this brother." Christoya blamed her softly.

Cynthia usually listens to Christoya's words, but she can't say anything to a boy who is only a few years older than herself. A small face suddenly turns red and she turns her head quickly.

Christoia had to apologize personally to Patroclus.

Faced with the noble temperament of the consul wife, 13-year-old Patroclus was overwhelmed and shyly bowed his head, saying, "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter..." He hurried away.
