Homes
Ancient Greek homes were usually made of wood, bricks with mud, and sometimes stone. Also many homes often need repairs at least once a year. The houses were typically around 2-12 rooms depending on how wealthy the family is. Property was very important to them because there wasn't much land to have. Most of the Ancient Greeks homes did not have bathrooms and most homes did have water or wells on their properties. Because of this women had to go find water and then bring it back to their homes.
Clothing
The materials that the Ancient Greeks clothes were made of were wool and linen. The wool that they used was made from sheep. The Ancient Greeks were more linen in the summer because it was made from a lighter material while wool was warmer so it was best to wear during winter. The clothing that the women wore was a long piece of cloth that was tight around the waist. The men's clothing was shorter than the women's but still was long especially when they were working outside. Lastly the Ancient Greeks typically didn't wear shoes
Greek Gods
