Summary/Abstract: What a correct system of education and upbringing means, as well as the question of the humanistic principles on which it should be based, cannot be seen without looking back at the education systems of previous periods. Our emphasis in this paper is on the system of upbringing and education of brave warriors established by Lycurgus in Sparta, as well as on Plato's understanding of the importance of humanistic education and education, which aims at the realization of virtue. Only such a person is capable of a happy life, as well as a harmonious life in the state community. On the other hand, the Lycurgus system of education aims to educate a brave warrior and the entire education is subordinated to that. Both Lycurgus and Plato believe that education and upbringing must be under the strict supervision of the state. What is also similar in both of them is that neither of them neglects the education of women.
