Editing Lyceum (section)

==History==
''Lyceum'' is a [[Latin]] rendering of the [[Ancient Greek]] {{Lang|grc|Λύκειον}} ({{Lang|grc-latn|lykeion}}), the name of a ''[[gymnasium (ancient Greece)|gymnasium]]'' in [[Classical Athens]] dedicated to [[Apollo Lyceus]]. [[Lyceum (classical)|This original lyceum]] is remembered as the location of the [[peripatetic school]] of [[Aristotle]]. Some countries derive the name for their modern schools from the Latin but use the Greek name for the ancient school: for example, Dutch has {{Lang|nl|lykeion}} (ancient) and {{Lang|nl|lyceum}} (modern), both rendered ''lyceum'' in English (note that in classical Latin the ''C'' in {{Lang|la|lyceum}} was always pronounced as a ''K'', not a soft ''C'', as in modern English).

The name ''[[lycée]]'' was retrieved and utilized by [[Napoleon]] in 1802 to name the main secondary education establishments. From France the name spread in many countries influenced by French culture.
