    The Greek states often fought each other.


    SpartaandAthensfought a long war, called
    the Peloponnesian War and Sparta won.
    Only the threat of invasion by a foreign
    enemy made the Greeks forget their
    problems and fight on the same side. Their
    main enemy wasPersia.

    GREEK SOLDIERS
    A hoplite
    CONTINUED

    [HOP-light] A Greek foot soldier carried round


    shields and long spears and had bronze helmets
    and leg guards.
    Ahoplitehad to pay for his armour, unless his
    father was killed in battle. Then he was given his
    father's weapons and armour.
    Rich men had metal armour, but others wore
    cheap armour made of linen cloth.
    The crest was usually made of horsehair, and
    stuck up to make the soldier look taller and
    fiercer.

    The Greek diet was very healthy. Food in


    Ancient Greece consisted of grains, wheat,
    barley, fruit, vegetables, breads, and cake.

    FOOD AND DRINK

    Buildings
    Architecture is the art of designing and
    creating buildings.
    Greek architecture was based off of the
    post-and-lintel system. The post-andlintel system is made up of columns,
    which are large upright posts, with a
    roof, over the top.

    Ancient Greek Buildings:

    Clothing:
    TheGreekswore light,
    looseclothesas the
    weather was hot for most of
    the year. Long pieces of
    colourful fabric were used to
    make theGreek clothes.
    The main item of
    clothingfor men was a
    tunic, called a chiton. These
    were big squares of cloth,
    held in place by pins at the
    shoulders and a belt round
    the waist. They were made

    Clothing continued
    Women also wore
    clothing which was
    made from big
    square piece of
    linen or wool. They
    used pins in various
    places to hold it
    together. Unlike the
    men's, the dresses
    always went down
    to the ankles.

    `Family Life:
    Men had a much better life than women in
    Ancient Greece. Only men could be full
    citizens and make the important decisions.
    Only men could take part in battles, war,
    sports and meet in public.
    Spartan women had more freedom than
    women and girls living in Athens. Women
    were expected to look after the home, make
    clothes, and bear children. Their fathers
    chose for them who to marry.
    Rich families had male and female slaves.

    Greek Mythology:
    In their effort to understand their environment
    and the forces of nature, the Ancient Greeks
    invented stories to account for the things that
    went on in their lives. These tales, known as
    myths, were spread around by travellers.
    What were the Myths about?
    They were about gods who controlled the
    elements of nature. The myths told tales
    about powerful Olympian gods, sea gods,
    woodland gods, sky gods, underwater gods,
    half-gods, human heroes, courageous or
