Greek+Infomation

Labouring
The Ancient Greeks had a lot of rich buisness people and crafts people working in shops when you would walk down the street. There were also poor peasants, labourers and many slaves that were forced to work until their hands bled, their masters controlled them 24-7, until they were useless...

Fashion
The fashion was that everyone wore a Chiton, this was made from two large pieces of cloth that were held together by pins. They put it on over their heads and then tied it around their waists to make it stay on. Woman wore their Chiton to the ground, the men wore their's differently though they gathered their's under their belts so then tey wouldn't hang to the ground but only to their knees.

Greek City
In the middle of Athens there is a place called "Agora", this is a market place where people gather to collect food, buy pottery and cloths. All though Athens is a beautiful place and city "Agora" is the main place people go.

Greek Housing
The Greek Housing are always usually two stories high, the materials they made the houses out of, is a basic metal frame with mud and the roof is made out of Rd clay into tiles.

Growing Up
When you are only young, you are still expected to help out around the home and also the fields. If you were a boy in Athens you could start school at the age of seven. The only children that went to school were rich families who could afford it. Most boys stay at school until the age of 14, then they were forced to go out and work, at school the boys learnt how to read, write, mathematics as well as potery and music. Girls didnt usually go to school, although some girls were taught at home to read and write.

** Daily Bread **
The daily bread was a staple diet for most Greeks, the bread was made with waet or barley flour. The bread was cooked in a flat tray to make the bread rise easier. At breakfast time the bread was soaked in olive oil or wine, they also had small bowls of figs or other fruit to give it extra flavour. The most common drink for all Greeks was wine, although they did weaken it down to make it go furthure, they didn't have much grapes to make into wine so thats another reason why they added water. The wine was usually thick and didn't last long. It was usually strained before drinking the sweet glamourouse drink. Greeks ate a lot of sea food mostly octopus and squid, which Greeks still eat today for the protein and energy. The way they usually cooked it was by cutting off the tentacles into small thin peices then to boil them so were tender and would melt in your mouth or fry them for extra flavour. //Elaborate hairstyles// For the men it was fashionable to cut their hair to attract the woman with their lucious locks, for the woman they used simple pins and slides to keep their hair in place. Personal hygiene and beauty were most important to the Greeks, regular exercise was considered compolsury.It was fashionable to wash nearly three times a day, your skin had to also look healthy and feel healthy and soft. They use to wash in small tubes in privacy of their own homes.
