Lycurgus, of Greece, promoted this with the primary idea of acquainting the people with the laws of Greece. The development was along all lines in which the folks were interested and the market place was fine for the meeting of the teachers and philosophers, as well as a commercial buying place. The buying place, which is now the primary meaning of market, was the nucleus that kept the crowds and the social features grew with it.
