   The subject isn't Greece and even if it were:   
      
          Population > Citizens   
      
   The common estimate is placed at 20% of Athens -- one out of every   
   five were a citizen.   
      
   So even if they had 100% literacy amongst citizens, which they did not,   
   that still leaves roughly 80% uneducated.   
      
   But, again,  that's greece and we're not talking about Greece.   
      
   CONSCRIPTS:  They're the grunts. They don't need to be educated, they   
   only need to be disciplined.
