Intro on Fashion
- Was not as much variety in close as in ancient Greece. Most people wore rectangular sheets. Women even wore two types of dresses, the Doric chiton and the lonic chiton. Men mostly wore the shorter version of the lonic chiton which was made of wool, and coloured yellow, brown, red, or sometimes blue.
Women's Fashion
- The Doric was a more simpler dress. The dress was taller than the wearer. Held together by two large pins, and folded half horizontally and wrapped around the body. A lot of “styles” you could wear it like, different variations of it. Lonic chiton was a large rectangle but a lot wider than the Doric. It was not folded over, but it was closed at the seams sorta like a poncho, also tied at the girdle so that any extra was in the upper section and bottom section did not hang beneath the ankles.
Men's Fashion
- Men mostly wore a shorter version of the lonic chiton so it didn't exactly look so girly on them. When it was cold they wore a cloak to protect themselves form the cold. When they traveled, they wore a sombrero but made of felt.
Food
- Greek food was waaaay different to what we eat today. Many ingredients to what we add were unknown to the greeks, such as potatoes, tomatoes, capsicium, corn, bananas, and chocolate. They ate wheat and barley products. Vegatables such as beans, onions and cabbage, and fish was rare and red meat is epensive. Sometimes ate chicken, goose or pork. they flavored their food with honey, wine, olive oil, herbs and spices.
