About This Book

This volume examines the social customs and everyday life of ancient Greece, treating marriage rites, the legal and social position of married women, and standards of dress and ornament. It then describes domestic spaces and furnishings, culinary habits and entertainments including the theatre, and finally turns to rural life: villas and farmyards, gardens and orchards, vineyards and agricultural practices, and pastoral routines. The material combines legal, ritual, and practical details to sketch household organization, leisure, and economic activity across urban and rural settings.
