Housing Greek houses were built from sun-dried bricks. The Greeks liked their home's prvate for personal things, like bathing. The town houses had more rooms and were bigger. Sometimes if they got richer they would move from old farm houses to richer town houses. In the middle of the town houses, there was a little garden. In the houses, if there was a man in the household, the women would do all the chores.

Cooking and Eating In Greece, men often held banquets and drinking parties and the women would prepare everything. They would eat things like Squid, goat cheese and lots of fish dishes. Women were excluded from dinner parties. They were the ones who prepared it for the men. They would always eat in the dining room for an evening meal. When they ate sea creatures, they would eat it by sometimes eating it raw.

Battles and Soldiers: Greek soldiers wore helmets and breast plates for battle.
