    1. Boys in Athens went to school from the age of 7-14. So your statement is false.

    2. False - the latest dated pieces of the temple are dated around the 8th Century BC. Well before 300BC.

    3. I could find nothing to either prove or disprove this statement. I would say false as I am sure there were men physically stronger than Alexander. If you ment was he the most powerful Greek ruler then I would say true as his empire was the largest of any Greek ruler.
    4. True Athens had a much stronger Navy.

    Hi Connor

    You have number 3 wrong. True - Plato was astudent of Socrates but he was also a philosopher in his own right. In the website you referenced it actually does say "The Athienian Philosopher Plato..."
