An outgrowth of earlier research on historical and contemporary adult education in Greece, this paper provides highlights of the relationship between the state and adult education in that country. The highlights are organized by the following historical periods: prehistory (c. 3000-1100 B.C.); early and archaic Greece (c. 1100-700 B.C.); preclassical and classical periods (c. 700-323 B.C.); Hellenistic period (323-146 B.C.); Graeco-Roman period (146 B.C.-330 A.D.); Byzantine period (330-1453); Turkish occupation and rule (1453-1821); and modern Greece (1821-present). In addition to a section on each of those historical periods, the paper also includes an introduction, summary, and 16 references. (CML)
