The Iliad, as well as Odyssey, give us examples of the Greek human’s interaction with the gods and goddesses. We also see various gods and goddesses in their artwork like pots, vases and so on.

Greek Culture and their Clothing

Another very important part of ancient Greek culture was their clothing. The Greek clothing was kept extremely simple. The men, as well as women, would wear cotton in summer and wool during the winter.

The ancient Greeks would only buy their clothes in the gore which is also the marketplace but this was where the expensive clothes would be found. The families who could not afford to buy clothes would make their own. These clothes were simple tunics and also warm cloaks which would be made from linen or wool and they would be their dyed or bleached white.

These clothes would usually be made by the mother or daughter or female slaves. Sometimes they would decorate the clothes to represent the cities in which they would live land the Greeks were extremely proud of their home states.

Accessories of Ancient Greek

When it came to accessories the Greeks would buy Greek jewelry very rarely from peddlers. The only accessories which were there in the ancient Greek culture were hairpins, earrings, and rings. But then only the ones who were rich could really afford jewelry like this. The men and the women in most the city-state that used perfumes would boil herbs and various flowers for the scent.
