SHELTER

Houses were built out of mud and stone and what ever they could find. The better homes had an open court called peristylum. In the early stages of Athens, if you wanted a house, you had a very poor house until the economy declined. In your home you had to get water from outside wells, there was no indoor water. In a house they had toilets and bathtubs. Bathtubs were considered a leisure and only for the elite classes. House usually had a room for women store and use looms and to weave. It was considered a matter of honour to conceal your wife from the public gaze. Homes usually had one entrance to streets and if it was a potters house had a window to sell goods. Problems with homes is there were lots of twisted alleys in which thieves could hide. There were no doors to the houses.

The Greeks now have a reputation for not using sugar a lot and being the best tasters for wine.
