Life In Ancient Greece

As we know, Ancient Greek life was very different then life today. The world was not modernized and industrialized the way it is now. In Ancient Greece, individuals worked hard every day to feed themselves and to obtain goods that are necessary for every day survival. Another important part of life during this time was theatre. Theatre was one of the only forms of entertainment for people and it was also a place where many gathered to socialize. Here is an excerpt on ancient Greek life.
"Men if they were not training in military, or discussing politics they went to the Theatre for entertainment. To watch dramas that they could relate to, including tragedies and comedies. These often involved current politics and gods in some form. It is thought that women were not allowed to watch theatre or perform at the theatre, although male actors did play women roles.
Lives of Women in Ancient Greece were closely tied to domestic work, spinning, weaving and other domestic duties. They were not involved in public life or in politics. The live were normally quite confined to the house although one public duty was acting as a priestess at a temple.
Children in ancient Greece usually occupied their time playing with toys and games." (Ancient Greek)
