What subjects were likely included in Philo Judaeus’s Greek education?

Philo Judaeus was a product of the Hellenistic educational system in Alexandria, which emphasized the liberal arts and athletics within the gymnasium. His education likely encompassed the standard curriculum of the time, which included the following subjects:1

• Mathematical disciplines: Arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and harmonics.12
• Literary and linguistic arts: Grammar and rhetoric.12
• Philosophical studies: Logic and philosophy.1

Beyond these formal studies, Philo demonstrated a deep familiarity with Greek literature, particularly the works of epic and dramatic poets. This comprehensive training, often referred to as enkyklios paideia (or "general education"), provided the intellectual foundation that allowed him to synthesize revealed faith with philosophic reason.1342
