=__** Ancient Greek Fashion **__= =__** ﻿ **__=

Greece fashion was different for different classes of people. Most people wore loose clothing but if you wore tight fitted outfits you were considered barbarians. Men and women wore sleeveless tunics. Women tunics were usually ankle length and men’s were shorter. The tunics were white but if you had the money you could get it dyed in many different colours. In winter a heavy wool cloak was worn. The Greeks wore no shoes inside but outdoors they wore sandals.

Jewellery was very popular in Greece. Women wore earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Men in the early years of ancient Greece men wore jewellery but the fad ended.

Hairstyles were always changing but at first men had short hair with beards and women wore their hair long only women that were slaves wore their hair short. Women usually wore their hair braided or curled but later on they started wearing their hair tied back in a pony tail or in a bun.

theatres. Greek architecture was characterised by the columns. There were many styles of architecture some were simple and some were very detailed. The three common ones were Doric, ionic and Corinthian. Ionic was a wider column and had a bit more detail then the Doric. The Corinthian was finely detailed and was not used a lot, simply because it was hard to carve. __ DORIC __ As Doric was the most basic order of columns for the temples they were easier to make compared to the ionic and the Corinthian. To make the Doric columns they had to use wooden shafts which were later changed to stone pillars. Once the columns were complete they would be mounted up and they were used to support ceilings. __ IONIC __ Ionic columns have always been slender compared to the Doric columns. The main features of ionic columns are the volutes. Volutes are the spirals and lines running up and down on the columns for an interesting effect. On the top of the columns were a plain architrave and a frieze above it. The frieze often had pictures of everyday life. __ CORINTHIAN __ Corinthian was the most detailed out of the three columns. With a lot of carved detail it was very attractive and interesting to look at. On the columns there were volutes that had pictures of Greek gods and goddesses and pictures of everyday life.

** MYTHS ** Greek myths are stories that explain how the world came about and they also explain their religion, gods and heroes. Usually myths try to send a message that is important in social or religious meanings. Myths were created because people try to understand what creates their world and explain why things happen. Myths were mainly used to describe origins of the world. They a big part of ancient Greeks beliefs. The stories of the myths were originally set out as oral poetry and the two oldest Greek epic poems which were long stories of old heroes were by Homer who was an ancient Greek writer. These poems were the Iliad and the Odyssey. These poems were about after the Trojan War and the hero Odysseus.

** POLITICS ** Ancient Greece has always had some sort of political structure. Because of the land form of Greece which was areas divided by mountains and rivers separate states developed and they ran themselves independently. Even though they did this people of ancient Greece knew that they shared the same basic culture, religion and language. In the separate states there were cities and towns which were self ruling. Democracy first began in ancient Greece in Athens and this was their solution to being under a tyrannical power. This was one person having all the power in the society. The democracy that followed this gave more power to the people. There was a citizen’s assembly and the citizens would be involved in the discussion about the government and its issues. The poorest of people could not attend this meeting and the people who were non citizen or slaves could not either. They had no political rights at all. Sparta was different from the rest of Greece and was ruled by two monarchs.
