We start with a brief overview of how Greece came to be and some of the misconceptions about its formation. Following this, we get to know the people of ancient Greece, through their love of leisure. This favorite pastime is heavily reliant upon a busy open air market called the Agora. Moving away from the agora briefly, we explore the theatre experience. The theatre was a popular hobby of thousands of Greeks. Moving back to the Agora, we bump into Socrates. Socrates is an excellent vessel for knowledge in more than one way. Through his unusual mannerisms and fashion sense, we learn how Greeks dressed at the time. His wife emerges and models some women’s clothing. This bores Socrates, so he suggests an adventure to the Olympic Games. Getting to the Olympics is easier said than done. We’ll really need to figure out how to get there as Olympia is on the other side of Greece, a 6 day walk. This leads to the few transportation options we have: horses, donkeys and boats. Whilst walking is the easiest option, it’s slow and incredibly dangerous for a number of reasons. Greek pirates are a huge one. Spending the day on the farm is far more relaxing. Most Greeks were attached to farms in one way or another, so this is an important segment. It leads nicely into foods and beverages that were consumed in Ancient Greece. Next up is houses. How they were designed: interior and exterior. Another important thing to note is how the household was structured. It encompassed everyone, including domestic helpers (sIaves). There were a few groups that had a hard time in Greece. Women were one of them. It wasn’t just social expectations that made life challenging for Greek women. Death was also something they had to deal with far too frequently. Premature death was prominent in all of the ancient world. Religious beliefs (mythology) helped guide Greeks through the process. There will be separate videos on mythology as it’s far to broad of a subject to address in this video.
