I. The Procrustean bed Quoting from this paper, titled The Procrustes’ Bed and Standardization in Education, this is the legend of Procrustes. “Procrustes was a crook from Attica, who took the lives of many innocent people passing by his fortress gate. Most of his victims were travelers who were new to the area and unfamiliar with him. With disguised hospitality, Procrustes approached travelers passing by his residence and made a generous offer of a free night’s stay. Tired from their long walk, travelers usually accepted the offer with gratitude. Unfortunately, none of those who stayed at Procrustes’s house left the place alive.”
