About This Book

This chronological study surveys clothing worn in ancient Greek lands from pre-Hellenic remains through the Hellenistic age, drawing on archaeological finds, literary passages, sculpture, and vase-painting. The author contrasts two principal dress-types, Doric and Ionic, notes northern additions such as the chlamys and petasos, and considers regional and social variation. Separate chapters examine head-dress, materials, footwear, and toilet, while carefully chosen illustrations, suggested dimensions, and diagrams support practical reconstruction. Experimental draping is used to propose likely shapes and modes of wearing specific garments across periods.
