Abstract
The treatise On the Education of Children appears first in the traditional order of the collection once entirely ascribed to Plutarch and known as the Moralia (Mor. 1A-14C). Recent scholarship doubts Plutarch's authorship of this piece, but agrees that it belongs, like the Moralia in general, to the Second Sophistic period. This treatise, nevertheless, appears to owe more to what was considered in the classical period a traditional approach to education and to Socratics like Plato and Xenophon than to the early Sophists. This may be a result of the context in which the work of the Pseudo-Plutarch was produced.
