This study examines the role of classical education in Graeco-Roman schools, focusing on the moral purpose of literary passages used as school exercises. By compiling a corpus of school texts from thirty-two editions of papyri and related writing materials, this research explores the selection of passages that express ancient Greek concepts, such as φιλία – φι- λοξενία and/or address ethical matters, like μεσότης. The findings highlight the significance of these texts in shaping students’ intellectual and moral development, illustrating how classical literature provided a foundation for ethical instruction in ancient education. The impact of moral education is particularly evident in the rhetorical style and literary references found in non- literary texts, especially private letters, which reflect the deep assimilation of ancient Greek ideas and values.
