Daily Life in ancient Greece
|
What we know about the daily life in ancient Greece is that men
ran the government, and spent a great deal of their time away from
home.
When not involved in politics, the men spent time in the
fields, overseeing or working the crops, sailing, hunting, in manufacturing
or in trade.
For fun, in addition to drinking parties called as Symposium, the men enjoyed wrestling,
horseback riding, and the famous Olympic Games.
When the men entertained
their male friends, at the popular drinking parties, their wives
and daughters were not allowed to attend.

With the exception of ancient Sparta, Greek women had very limited
freedom outside the home. They could attend weddings, funerals,
some religious festivals, and could visit female neighbors for
brief periods of time. In their home, Greek women were in charge!
Their job was to run the house and to bear children.
Most Greek women did not do housework themselves. Most Greek households
had slaves. Female slaves cooked, cleaned, and worked in the fields.
Male slaves watched the door, to make sure no one came in when
the man of the house was away, except for female neighbors, and
acted as tutors to the young male children.
