-PREFACE
-
-
-The object of this book is to give a continuous account of the dress
-worn by the people inhabiting Greek lands, from the earliest times
-of which we have any record down to the Hellenistic age. The first
-chapter stands somewhat apart from the rest, since it deals with the
-costume of the race which occupied the Ægean shores before the real
-Hellenic races arrived on the scene, and of which we have abundant
-remains in Crete and elsewhere within the Ægean area. The remains
-found at Mycenæ, Tiryns, and other so-called Mycenæan sites, seem to
-be the last efforts of this dying civilization, which was replaced in
-the period of invasion and conquest recorded in the Homeric poems. I
-have been unable to trace any continuous development from the dress
-of this pre-Hellenic people to that of classic Greece, and the marked
-difference in the type of costume between the two periods bears out
-the theory of a difference of race.
-
-I have endeavoured to show that the dress described in the Homeric
-poems is of the same type as the dress of classic Greece, and of
-this I have traced the historic development, classifying it into
-two main divisions, namely, Doric and Ionic. The simple and severe
-Doric dress contrasts with the more luxurious costume of the Ionian
-Greeks, although there are many instances, from the fifth century
-and onwards, in which the two styles are blended. I have noted also
-the elements which probably came in from Northern Greece; these are
-chiefly the chlamys and petasos.
-
-The bulk of the following pages constituted a thesis approved for the
-degree of Master of Arts in the University of London. In revising
-the work for the press, however, some alterations and additions have
-been made. The chief of these is the addition of the section on the
-toilet; the illustrations have been carefully selected from extant
-monuments.
-
-My sources for the chapter on pre-Hellenic dress have been mainly
-the finds of Mr A. J. Evans at Knossos, which I had the opportunity
-of seeing in the Candia Museum; these have been supplemented by the
-figures found at Petsofa, in Crete, and by various Mycenæan objects,
-notably rings and gems. The papers published by Mr Evans and Mr J. L.
-Myres in the _British School Annual_ have been of very great value.
-
-For the chapter on Homeric dress, my chief authority has been the
-poems themselves; in the absence of contemporary monuments, I
-have used the François vase to illustrate this section, since the
-figures upon it seem to tally most closely with the descriptions
-of dress found in the poems. Of modern literary authorities, the
-most valuable has been Studniczka’s _Beiträge zur Geschichte der
-Altgriechischen Tracht_.
-
-For the dress of the classical period, the evidence from extant art
-is abundant, and I have based my study chiefly upon it. Sculpture and
-vase-paintings have furnished the majority of my illustrations. I
-have noted many references to dress scattered up and down the ancient
-authors, and a passage from the fifth book of Herodotus has furnished
-a starting-point for the classification into Doric and Ionic dress.
-
-My theory as to the shape and “cut” of the himation worn by the
-archaic ladies in the Acropolis Museum at Athens is, I think, a
-new one; it is based on a very careful examination of the statues,
-supplemented by some practical experiments in draping a living model.
-
-For the sections on head-dress, materials, and footgear, I have
-referred to passages in ancient literature, and have used extant
-remains for illustrations, chiefly vase-paintings; except in the case
-of materials, for which I have cited the actual fragments of fabric
-found in Greek tombs at Kertch, in the Crimea.
-
-In describing individual garments, I have in each case suggested
-dimensions and given diagrams, which, it is hoped, may be of
-practical use to those who wish to make Greek dresses for themselves.
-
-Throughout the work, in addition to ancient authorities, I have
-consulted the various articles in the current classical dictionaries.
-These include Pauly-Wissowa’s _Real Encyclopädie_, Daremberg and
-Saglio’s _Dictionnaire des Antiquités grecques et romaines_, Smith’s
-_Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities_, Gardner and Jevons’
-_Manual of Greek Antiquities_, and the _Companion to Greek Studies_.
-Other works, to which single references have been made, are mentioned
-in the footnotes.
-
-In addition to written authorities, I have received personal help
-from several scholars and friends, to whom I should like to express
-my thanks.
-
-In the first place, I should like to acknowledge my indebtedness to
-the Reid Trustees of Bedford College, who elected me to a Fellowship
-in 1905, which enabled me to work for my second degree, and to spend
-some months in Greece as a student of the British School at Athens.
-
-The suggestion that a thesis on the subject of Greek Dress might
-be of some value beyond getting me a degree, was due to Mr A. B.
-Cook, of Cambridge, under whom I had already worked for three years
-at Bedford College, and whose constant readiness to stimulate my
-leanings towards Archæology encouraged me to continue my studies in
-that direction. Mr Cook very kindly read this work in manuscript for
-me, and gave me the benefit of his criticisms. I owe a very great
-deal, also, to Professor Ernest Gardner, of University College,
-London, whose M.A. courses I attended regularly for two years, and
-from whom I constantly received help and guidance.
-
-While in Athens, I devoted my attention chiefly to the dress of the
-archaic statues in the Acropolis Museum, and had the opportunity
-of discussing this subject with Mr R. C. Bosanquet, then director
-of the British School. I must also thank Herr Fritz Röhrig, the
-German sculptor, who placed his studio in Athens at my disposal,
-and procured a model for me, for the purpose of making my first
-experiments in reproducing the archaic style of draping the himation.
-
-Special acknowledgments are due to Mr A. J. Evans, Mr J. L. Myres,
-and the Committee of the British School at Athens, for their
-courtesy in allowing me to reproduce subjects published by them in
-the _British School Annual_; to the Trustees of the British Museum,
-for permission to secure photographs of objects in the Museum for
-publication; to Mr Cecil Smith, for giving me free access to the
-library of the Department of Antiquities; and, particularly, to Mr H.
-B. Walters, who went through the illustrations with me, and greatly
-facilitated the task of securing suitable ones.
-
-Lastly, my grateful thanks are due to Mr John Murray, for undertaking
-to publish the book, and to Mr A. H. Hallam Murray, for his
-constant courtesy and assistance during the progress of the work of
-publication.

-INTRODUCTION
-
-PRE-HELLENIC
-
-
-In seeking to conjure up a vivid picture of the life of an ancient
-people, it is the task of the archæologist to neglect no point that
-can in any way throw light on the manners and customs which that
-people practised from day to day, both in the exercise of their
-public duties and in the privacy of their own homes.
-
-Just as the habits and dress of an individual frequently give a
-true impression of his character and type of mind, so the salient
-characteristics of a nation are reflected in the external details of
-their manners and their costume. In making a careful study of the
-Greeks, therefore, whose innate feeling for beauty was part of their
-very being, and whose sense of the fitness of things rarely if ever
-played them false, we shall expect to find our efforts amply repaid,
-both by the satisfaction given to the æsthetic sense and by the
-knowledge we shall have gained of the development of the national
-character. The study of costume has, moreover, an ethnological
-significance which in itself justifies a detailed investigation of
-the subject.
-
-Professor Ridgeway, in _The Early Age of Greece_, has pointed out
-that the civilization reflected in the Homeric poems differs in many
-essential points from that which is revealed by the monuments found
-at Mycenæan sites on the mainland of Greece and in the Ægean islands.
-Confirmation has since been added to his convincing arguments by
-the discoveries of Mr Arthur Evans in Crete, which prove that the
-so-called Mycenæan remains were but the last efforts of a dying
-civilization which stretched back at least as far as the third
-millennium before our era. The culture revealed by the excavations at
-Knossos and other sites in Crete presents a striking contrast to that
-of the Greeks of the classic period; whereas the state of society
-described in the Homeric poems seems to contain analogies with both
-periods.
-
-The palace of Alcinous and the house of Odysseus, as described in the
-_Odyssey_, correspond in plan to the palace of Mycenæ excavated by
-the Greek Archæological Society in 1886, which undoubtedly belongs
-to the older stratum of civilization;[1] on the other hand, the
-methods of disposing of the dead, and the underlying principles of
-costume, are utterly different in the two cases. The Homeric heroes
-burn their dead, whereas the remains found in Mycenæan graves prove
-that in the state of society to which they belong burial was the
-common method of disposing of the dead. The difference in costume is
-equally striking; the women’s dress, illustrated by the Mycenæan gems
-and the wall-paintings and faïence statuettes from Knossos, consists
-of elaborately made garments, with tight jackets fitting closely to
-the figures at the waist, and full and frequently flounced skirts;
-there is no indication of fastening by means of brooches or fibulæ.
-In Homer the brooch is almost invariably mentioned as an essential
-detail of female costume, and the garments described are of a simple
-character, and such that they can be spread out and used for other
-purposes. For example, Aphrodite, when protecting Æneas from his
-assailants, shields him from their weapons by drawing a fold of
-her peplos over him (_Iliad_, v., 315); and again, at the funeral
-rites of Hector, the body is covered, πορφυρέοις πέπλοισι μαλακοῖσιν
-(_Iliad_, xxiv., 796), “with soft purple robes.”
-

- also, for general principles of ground plan, “The Palace at
- Knossos,” _British School Annual_, VIII.
-
-The contrast between the forms of dress represented in Mycenæan art
-and in the Homeric poems can only be explained by supposing that
-there is a difference in race between the two peoples, and that the
-older civilization was almost entirely swept away by a great series
-of invasions carried out by men of a different race. The Homeric
-dress is closely akin to that of the Greeks of the classic period,
-whereas that represented on Mycenæan rings and gems belongs, as
-will be shown later, to the stratum of civilization revealed by the
-Cretan excavations.[2] We must suppose, then, that the Homeric heroes
-belonged to the invading race, which was full of youthful vigour and
-succeeded in superimposing its manners and customs upon those of the
-older, decadent society, and in finally ousting the older inhabitants
-from their homes altogether. The process was one which must have
-lasted over some centuries, and it is probable that the Homeric poems
-were composed whilst it was still incomplete, and that the siege
-of Troy represents one incident in the long wars which were waged
-between the two peoples. This view accounts for the fact that the
-Homeric house belongs to the older civilization, while the costume
-is that of the later. The invaders, having conquered or driven out
-the inhabitants, finding their houses strongly built and luxuriously
-decorated, would refrain from destroying them and settle themselves
-peacefully and comfortably there, naturally retaining their own style
-of dress and customs of disposing of their dead. Any new houses
-built after their settlement would be constructed after their own
-plans, and so the Homeric house would gradually give place to the
-Hellenic. The absence of brooches and fibulæ from the graves on the
-Acropolis of Mycenæ, and their presence in those of the lower city,
-adds confirmation to this theory. The Acropolis graves are earlier
-than the others, which in all probability belong to the time when the
-invaders had already imposed some of their characteristic customs
-upon their predecessors at Mycenæ and elsewhere in Greece. The use
-of the fibula is common to the early peoples of Central Europe, from
-which region it must have been introduced by the Achæan invaders into
-Greece.[3]

-The earliest remains found on Greek soil are those which have been
-unearthed by Mr A. J. Evans, in his series of excavations at Knossos,
-in Crete. They represent earlier stages of that civilization which
-has hitherto been known as Mycenæan. The costume revealed by the art
-of this pre-Hellenic age forms a study in itself, since it presents a
-striking contrast to that of the classic period in Greece, and also
-to that of contemporary Asiatic peoples. The costume of the men is
-simple; when not entirely nude, they wear sometimes a waist-cloth
-rolled round a girdle, with a loose end hanging down like an apron in
-front;[4] in a lead statuette of the same period found near Abbia,
-in Laconia, the waist-cloth appears to take the form of a triangular
-piece of material wrapped round the girdle, the apex of the triangle
-being drawn up between the legs and tucked into the belt in front.
-In some terra-cotta figurines from Petsofa,[5] a third garment
-appears, consisting of a rectangular piece of material with the long
-side tucked into the belt all round and the short sides hanging down
-perpendicularly in front. In the later Mycenæan period, the garment
-takes the form of short breeches reaching half-way down the thigh.
-These are probably a development from the earlier waist-cloth.[6]

-
-In most cases the upper part of the body appears to be quite bare,
-but in some instances a line is drawn at the neck and wrists which
-may indicate the edges of a close-fitting, long-sleeved tunic. It
-is more probable, however, that these lines are meant to represent
-a necklace and bracelets, such as have been found in considerable
-numbers in Mycenæan graves. On a siege scene represented on a
-fragment of a silver vase from Mycenæ,[7] the majority of the
-fighting warriors are represented quite nude; but in one case (at
-the lower right-hand corner) a tunic and head-dress are worn; but in
-this instance the tunic has sleeves reaching only half-way to the
-elbow, as is also the case with the inhabitants, who are watching the
-progress of the battle from behind the city wall; two figures, which
-appear to be just leaving the city, wear square cloaks fastened on
-the right shoulder and leaving both arms free; they do not appear
-to be fighting, and probably represent heralds about to make
-some proposal to the enemy. The covering here described as a cloak
-has been regarded as representing an oblong shield (ἠΰτε πύργος);
-but in view of the fact that the men carry no weapons and that both
-arms are exposed, it seems more reasonable to suppose that a mantle
-is intended. The warriors in front are fighting without protection;
-and if any shield were represented, we should expect it to be of the
-usual Mycenæan shape, which appears as a decoration on the upper
-left-hand corner of the fragment. A fragment of a wall-painting
-from Mycenæ represents a warrior wearing a short-sleeved tunic and
-having a double bracelet at the wrist; it appears, then, that when
-the pre-Hellenic man wore a tunic, it was not furnished with long
-sleeves, and even when his clothing was of the scantiest possible
-nature, he was not far enough removed from primitive barbarism to
-prevent his adorning his person with bracelet and necklace.
-
- [7] Perrot and Chipiez, VI., fig. 365.
-
-The indication of some kind of footgear is frequent: it is
-represented on the Vaphio cups; and on a wall-painting from Tiryns
-depicting the capture of a bull, it takes the form of pointed shoes
-turned up at the toes and fastened by a series of bands above
-the ankles. Such pointed shoes were common to the Assyrians and
-the Hittites, and are worn to this day by Greeks and Turks, and
-frequently also in other rocky countries.[8]
-
- [8] The characteristic Cretan boots may possibly be a direct
- survival.
-
-In the wall-painting from Tiryns, and on a Mycenæan intaglio (Perrot
-and Chipiez, VI., 426. 21), a number of bands is indicated just below
-the knee. Possibly the boots were fastened by leather laces crossed
-round the legs and then passed two or three times round under the
-knees. At present these bands have only been found in cases where the
-wearer is engaged in some violent occupation, such as the bull-taming
-scene; it has been suggested that they represent a leather thong
-wound round the knees to act as a protection; on stony ground some
-such guard would be necessary.
-
-The head-dress, of conical shape, finished by a button or flattened
-knob on the top, represents a helmet, made sometimes probably of
-metal, as was the case in Assyria, but in some cases certainly of
-felt or leather, covered with rows of overlapping boar’s tusks,
-turned alternately in opposite directions. A large number of boar’s
-tusks were found by Dr Schliemann[9] at Mycenæ, flattened on one side
-and with several holes in them, which obviously served to fasten them
-to some object; such a helmet is to be seen in an ivory fragment
-from Mycenæ,[10] and would exactly correspond to that described in
-_Iliad_, X., 261.

-
-In some cases the helmet presents a strikingly Egyptian appearance,
-and may quite possibly have been derived from Egypt; evidence of
-direct intercourse between the Cretans and Egyptians is not wanting;
-indeed the clearest representation of the costume of the pre-Hellenic
-inhabitants of the Ægean shores is to be found on an Egyptian tomb
-fresco,[11] where the Kefts are depicted bringing vases as tribute
-to the Egyptian monarch, their costume is identical with that of the
-cupbearer from the Knossian fresco, and they are carrying vessels
-of the same shapes as many which have been found in Crete and on
-other Mycenæan sites. It has been pointed out by Mr H. R. Hall[12]
-that the Keftiu were the people of the Ægean islands, including
-Crete, and that sometimes the name was applied exclusively to the
-Cretans. The Keftiu were formerly mistaken for Phœnicians; but their
-whole appearance and costume on the Egyptian fresco is utterly
-unlike anything Phœnician; so we are quite justified in considering
-that they represent the Cretans faithfully as they appeared to the
-Egyptians, especially in view of their similarity to the cupbearer
-of the fresco at Knossos, a native product of Cretan art.

-
-A striking analogy to the pre-Hellenic male costume is to be observed
-in the Etruscan wall-paintings from the tombs at Corneto, now in the
-British Museum. The waist-cloth, shoes, and head-dress are there
-represented in a form almost identical with that found in Mycenæan
-art. So little is known of the origin of the Etruscans, that it is
-difficult to say whether this similarity of dress indicates any
-racial connection between the two peoples; it is interesting to note
-that among ancient authorities Hellanicus of Lesbos states that the
-Etruscans were of Pelasgian origin, and modern writers have claimed
-a Pelasgian origin for the Cretans; there is not sufficient evidence
-forthcoming at present to determine whether they are right or wrong;
-but in any case, it is not improbable that both the Etruscans and the
-Cretans were branches of a common civilization, which spread itself
-all round the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in pre-Hellenic times,
-and that the Etruscans maintained some of their early characteristics
-down to a later date than other peoples of the same race.[13]
-

- “Etrusci.”
-
-Turning to the female costume of the pre-Hellenic age, we find we
-have something far more complicated to deal with. The same style
-of dress is found on the early faïence figures from Knossos and
-Petsofa, and extends right on until quite late Mycenæan times.
-
-[Illustration: FIGS. 2 and 3.—Snake Goddess and Votary. (_British
-School Annual_, IX., figs. 54 and 56.)
- _Face page_ 11.]
-
-It consists of a short-sleeved jacket, fitting closely to the figure,
-and a full skirt, standing out round the feet in a manner suggestive
-of the hoops of the early Victorian age. The juncture of the two
-garments is hidden by a thick double girdle worn round the waist,
-which is pinched into the smallest possible compass.
-
-The snake goddess and her votary[14] from Knossos have, in addition,
-a kind of apron reaching almost to the knees in front and behind,
-and rising to the hips at the sides. The costume is completed by the
-addition of a high hat or turban.
-
- [14] Figs. 2 and 3 from _British School Annual_, IX.
-
-Looking at the snake goddess more in detail, we find that the jacket
-is cut away into a V-shape from the neck to the waist, leaving both
-the breasts quite bare; the two edges are laced across below the
-breast, the laces being fastened in a series of bows. The jacket
-is covered with an elaborate volute pattern, the apron with spots
-and bordered with a “guilloche.” The horizontal lines on the skirt
-probably represent stripes in the material, the edge being ornamented
-with a reticulated band. The girdle of the goddess is composed of two
-snakes intertwined. The head-dress here consists of a high turban,
-probably made of cloth or linen wound round some kind of framework.
-The principle of the costume is always the same, though the fashions
-vary considerably in detail: for example, the skirt of the votary
-is composed of a series of seven flounces, one above the other,
-the lower edge in each case just covering the upper edge of the
-flounce below, the whole being probably sewn on to a foundation. On
-a fresco[15] representing a lady dancing, the skirt seems to consist
-of three such flounces. On the same figure the breast is not left
-bare, but a chemisette seems to be worn under the jacket, possibly
-made of some fine linen material, the edge of which is distinctly
-indicated at the neck. In one of the statuettes from Petsofa[16]
-the jacket terminates at the back in a high “Medici” collar, and in
-another fresco, from Knossos, a high sash appears on the back, the
-loop reaching to the nape of the neck, and the fringed edge hanging
-down to the waist; at first sight this sash recalls the Japanese
-“Obi.”[17] The millinery of the Cretan ladies, as illustrated by the
-terra-cotta fragments from Petsofa, exhibits an abundant variety of
-styles. The hat seems to have consisted of a flat, circular, or oval
-piece of material pinched up into any shape to suit the taste of the
-wearer; sometimes it is fastened down towards the nape of the neck,
-and curves round the head, rising high up in front over the face; in
-one case[18] the brim has a wavy edge and is trimmed with rosettes
-underneath; frequently it is done up into a large “toque” shape,
-narrowing to a point in front; this form occurs also on late Mycenæan
-terra-cottas.

-
-On none of the examples of costume quoted above is there any
-indication of fastening; the garments are obviously constructed by
-an elaborate system of sewing, but the means by which they were held
-in place on the figure is not represented, except in the case of
-the bodices of the goddess and her votary, which are laced across
-by cords. The use of fibulæ is nowhere indicated in art; and no
-fibulæ have been found, except in the later Mycenæan graves, which
-in all probability belong to the Achæan civilization introduced into
-Greece by the invasions from Central Europe.[19] A fragmentary hand
-from Petsofa has a bracelet represented in white paint, which is
-clearly fastened by means of a button and loop; since this method of
-fastening was known to the Cretans, it is probable that the ladies’
-skirts were fastened at the waist by buttons and loops, the fastening
-being concealed by the belt, as is the case with the modern blouse
-and skirt costume.
-
- [19] On “fibulæ,” see Sophus Müller, _Urgeschichte Europas_, p.
- 95. O. Montelius, _Civilization of Sweden in Heathen Times_.
-
-It has been pointed out by Mr J. L. Myres[20] that this jacket and
-apron type of dress is commonly worn at the present day by the
-peasants of the mountainous districts of Europe, chiefly in Italy,
-Switzerland, the Tyrol, Norway, and the Pyrenees. In Norway and
-Switzerland, moreover, we find the addition of a fan-like head-dress
-analogous to that represented in Minoan art. The appearance of the
-same kind of costume in Crete in the third millennium before our era
-merely serves to show that the type of dress need not necessarily be
-a modern development, but may possibly claim greater antiquity than
-has hitherto been supposed. The question of survival in the Ægean
-is interesting; as late as Tournefort’s[21] time, the inhabitants
-of some of the islands—for example, Mycone—appear to have worn
-a dress composed of a tight jacket and flounced skirt, with the
-addition of some Turkish elements; in the remoter islands there is a
-possibility—but it is little more than a possibility—that this may be
-a case of survival; in any case, the type seems to have disappeared
-in the eighteenth or early nineteenth century.[22]

- commonly worn by the island women as late as the eighteenth
- century.

-
-HOMERIC
-
-
-Turning to the various passages in the Homeric poems which refer to
-dress, we find that there is very little likelihood that they can
-be intended to describe the kind of costume dealt with above under
-the name of “Pre-Hellenic Dress.” The words used, and the accounts
-of the process of dressing, have no meaning, unless we suppose
-them to refer to the draped type of costume as opposed both to the
-close-fitting jacket type and to the dressing-gown type, consisting
-of a loose-sleeved garment opening down the front. The question of
-the kind of dress actually worn by the Trojan and Achæan heroes is
-not one to be entered into here; possibly it may have been the same
-as that reflected in the art of the Minoan and Mycenæan peoples;
-indeed, if the Trojans represent the older race which inhabited the
-shores of the Ægean, and the Achæans the invaders who came down upon
-them from the north, there is every probability that the former wore
-the pre-Hellenic dress, and the latter introduced the new Hellenic
-draped type. The use of the epithets βαθύκολπος and βαθύζωνος,
-“deep-bosomed” and “deep-girdled,” in the Homeric poems perhaps has
-some bearing on this point. Referring respectively to the deep hollow
-between the breasts and to the girdle cutting deep into the figure,
-they might well be applied to the wasp-waisted ladies of Knossos.
-It is significant to notice that βαθύκολπος is used only of Trojan
-women,[23] βαθύζωνος only of barbarian captives;[24] possibly the
-poet may be unconsciously referring to the difference between the
-dress of the older race and that of their Achæan conquerors.
-
- [23] _Iliad_, 18. 122, 389, 24. 215.
-
- [24] _Ibid._, 9. 594; _Odyssey_, 3. 154.
-
-However that may be, in most cases Homer ascribes the same kind of
-costume to Achæans and Trojans alike; he is singing of deeds that
-happened many years, perhaps even two or three centuries, before
-his day, and being no archæologist, he imagines his heroes to have
-dressed as his own contemporaries did; he is acting no differently
-from the Italian masters, who painted their Madonnas in mediæval
-costume.
-
-We find in Homer many differences in the nomenclature used when
-speaking of men’s and women’s dresses respectively. The words χιτών
-and χλαῖνα are applied exclusively to men’s costume, πέπλος and
-κρήδεμνον exclusively to women’s, whereas the word φᾶρος is the only
-one used indifferently for either; both men and women alike fasten
-their garments with brooches or pins of some kind (περόνη, ἐνετή) and
-with girdles (ζώνη, ζωστήρ). Many of the words applied to articles of
-wearing-apparel are also used to signify coverings for beds, seats,
-etc.: such are χλαῖνα, ῥήγεα, πέπλος, φᾶρος; the last is used also of
-sails and of the shroud of Laertes.[25] This being the case, we must
-infer that they were not made-up garments, but large square or oblong
-pieces of material which could be used for other purposes besides
-clothing; the Homeric dress, therefore, must belong to the draped
-type rather than to any other.
-
- [25] _Odyssey_, xix., 137.
-
-The men’s dress in Homer regularly consists of two pieces—the χιτών,
-or under-garment, and a cloak called variously χλαῖνα, φᾶρος, or, in
-one case, λώπη.[26] Warriors sometimes wore a skin instead of the
-mantle. For example, in _Iliad_, x., 22, Agamemnon is described as
-putting on a lion’s skin, and a few lines further on Menelaus appears
-wearing a dappled leopard’s skin.
-
- [26] _Ibid._, xiii., 22.
-
-The description of the process of dressing in the _Iliad_ is simple
-and straightforward. Agamemnon[27] awakes in the morning, and
-prepares to meet the assembly of the Achæans:
-
- ἕζετο δ᾽ ὀρθωθεὶς μαλακὸν δ᾽ ἔνδυνε χιτῶνα
- καλὸν νηγατέον, περὶ δὲ μέγα βάλλετο φᾶρος·
- πόσσι δ᾽ ὑπὸ λιταροῖσιν ἐδῆσατο καλὰ πέδιλα,
- ἀμφὶ δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ὤμοισιν βάλετο ξίφος ἀργυρόηλον.
-
-“He sat upright and drew on his soft tunic, fair and new, and threw
-around him his great cloak: and beneath his shining feet he bound
-fair sandals, and around his shoulders he slung his silver-studded
-sword.”
-
- [27] _Iliad_, ii., 42.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 6. Studniczka’s Diagram. The dotted lines mark the
-seams, the spaces A B, C D, E F being left open for arms and head
-respectively.]
-
-The χιτών was apparently, then, a garment which could be drawn on
-(ἔνδυνε) while in a sitting position. No mention is made, either
-in this or other similar passages, of pins or girdle to fasten the
-χιτών, so we may infer that it was a rather narrow garment sewn up at
-the two sides, with openings left for the head and arms.
-
-Studniczka[28] gives a diagram of such a garment, which he describes
-as a sack left open at the bottom, with openings in the top and
-side-seams for head and arms.
-
- [28] _Beiträge zur Geschichte der altgriechischen Tracht_, p. 13.
-
-The words ἐνδύνω, ἐκδύνω, are commonly used for “to put on” and “to
-take off” a χιτών, which seems to imply that the garment was drawn
-over the head; although occasionally περί is used with the simple
-verb δύνω instead of the compound ἐνδύνω.[29] In no case is there any
-mention of pins or brooches in connection with the χιτών, so we are
-justified in inferring that it was a sewn garment; and in _Odyssey_,
-xxiv., 227, the χιτών of Laertes is actually described as sewn:
-
- ῥυπόωντα δὲ ἕστο χιτῶνα
- ῥαπτὸν ἀεικέλιον.
-
-“He wore a sewn tunic, dirty and unseemly.”
-
- [29] _Odyssey_, xv., 60.
-
-As a rule, the χιτών was worn ungirdled, except when the wearer was
-engaged in vigorous action, when he is usually described as girding
-himself for the purpose. For example, in the _Odyssey_,[30] when
-Eumæus is going to slay pigs, he prepares himself by confining his
-χιτών with a girdle:
-
- ὣς εἰπὼν ζωστῆρι θοῶς συνέεργε χιτῶνα.
-
- [30] xiv. 72.
-
-Little mention is made in the Homeric poems of the length of
-the χιτών, but the distinguishing epithet of the Ionians is
-ἑλκεχίτωνες—with trailing chitons—so that trailing garments were
-evidently customary only among the Ionians; warriors while fighting
-and slaves occupied in active work would probably wear very short
-garments reaching only to the thigh, as they are to be seen on the
-earliest vase-paintings. The princes and elders of the people,
-engaged in peaceful pursuits, in all probability wore them reaching
-to the ankles. The word τερμίοεις, applied to the χιτών in _Odyssey_,
-xix., 242, is usually taken to mean “reaching to the feet,” and to be
-equivalent to ποδήρης, used by later writers.
-
-With regard to the material of which the χιτών was made, the word
-itself is connected with a Semitic root signifying linen;[31] and
-from the various epithets applied to it in Homer, it is reasonable
-to infer that the garment was ordinarily made of that material. It
-is described as σιγαλόεις, “shining” or “glossy”; and although this
-particular epithet need mean no more than “dazzlingly clean,” its
-comparison for softness and brightness with the skin of an onion[32]
-would hardly be very apt, if it were made of a stuff that did not
-present a very smooth surface; a hand-woven woollen material might
-possibly be called μαλακός, “soft,” but could hardly be described as
-shining like the sun. Two passages in Homer show clearly that oil
-was used in the weaving of linen, which would have the effect of
-producing a shiny appearance. The maidens in the palace of Alcinous
-are described as weaving linen from which the oil runs off:
-
- καιρουσσέων δ᾽ ὀθονέων ἀπολείβεται ὑγρὸν ἔλαιον.
- [_Odyssey_, vii., 107.]
-
-
-“And from the close-woven linen the liquid oil runs off,” and in
-_Iliad_, 596, the youths in the dancing place on the shield of
-Achilles are described as wearing χιτῶνας ἐϋννήτους, ἦκα στίλβοντας
-ἐλαίῳ, “well spun, shining softly with oil.”
-
- [31] Pauly-Wissowa, _Real Encyclopädie_, _s.v._ “χιτών,”
- Studniczka, p. 15 f.
-
- [32] _Odyssey_, xix., 232:
-
- τὸν δὲ χιτῶν᾽ ἐνόησα περὶ χροῒ σιγαλόεντα
- οἷόν τε κρομύοιο λοπὸν κάτα ἰσχαλέοιο
- τὼς μὲν ἔην μαλακὸς, λαμπρὸς δ᾽ ἦν ἠέλιος ὥς.
-
- “And I saw the shining tunic on his body, like the skin of a
- dried onion—so soft it was, and bright as the sun.”
-
-The epithet στρέπτος applied to the χιτών[33] requires comment; it
-was taken by Aristarchus, the grammarian, to mean a coat of chain
-mail. There is no evidence to show that such a piece of defensive
-armour was known to the early Greeks, and we find no reference to
-it until Roman times; there is, therefore, no justification for the
-inference that στρέπτος χιτών in Homer means a coat of mail.
-
- [33] _Iliad_, v., 113; xxi., 31.
-
-The word στρέπτος means primarily “twisted,” and could be applied to
-a coarse kind of linen whose texture showed very clearly the separate
-threads of which it was woven; but other uses of the word in Homer,
-and the second of the two passages in which it is applied to a χιτών,
-suggest a different interpretation. In _Odyssey_, ii., 426, in the
-description of the rigging of a ship, the expression εὐστρέπτοισι
-βοεῦσιν occurs. The adjective here can very well retain its simple
-meaning—“well-twisted”; the noun can mean nothing else but “ropes of
-ox-hide”—that is to say, the whole expression will signify ropes made
-of well-twisted thongs of leather.
-
-The passage referred to in the _Iliad_ runs as follows:—
-
- δῆσε δ᾽ ὀπίσσω χεῖρας εὐτμήτοισιν ἱμᾶσι
- τοὺς αὐτοὶ φορέεσκον ἐπὶ στρεπτοῖσι χιτῶσι.
- [_Iliad_, xxi., 30.]
-
-
-The subject is the sacrifice of the twelve boys at the funeral of
-Patroclus.
-
-Achilles bound their hands behind them with the well-cut thongs which
-they wore on their twisted chitons. The word ἱμᾶσι implies leather,
-and the only kind of chiton which would be likely to have leather
-thongs attached to it would be a jerkin made of leather, perhaps
-plaited in some way and fastened by means of leather laces. Such
-a garment might be worn in war under a metal breast-plate, or if
-very stoutly made might even serve as defensive armour, without the
-addition of any corslet; in any case, it would afford more protection
-than an ordinary linen chiton such as was worn by those engaged in
-the pursuits of peace.
-
-Another garment worn by men is the ζῶμα, which appears at first
-sight to mean simply a girdle, but in one or two passages signifies
-something more. The word is obviously connected with the verb
-ζώννυμι, “to gird on,” and means a “thing girt on.” The word might
-well apply to a girdle, but it might also be used of anything put
-on round the waist, and so of a waist-cloth; there can be little
-doubt that it has this meaning in _Iliad_, xxiii., 683, where a
-description is being given of the preparations for a boxing match;
-and a few lines further on the participle ζωσαμένω, applied to the
-wrestlers, in all probability means putting on their waist-cloths. In
-other passages where the word occurs, its meaning is less obvious,
-although here too there is nothing to render the same interpretation
-impossible. In _Iliad_, iv., 186, a weapon is described as not
-inflicting a mortal wound:
-
- εἰρύσατο ζωστήρ τε παναίολος ἠδ᾽ ὑπένερθεν
- ζῶμά τε καὶ μίτρη, τὴν χαλκῆες κάμον ἄνδρες.
-
-“But the shining belt checked it, and the waist-cloth beneath, and
-the kirtle which the coppersmiths fashioned.”
-
-Here the ζωστήρ and the μίτρη are obviously pieces of armour, and the
-ζῶμα is a garment worn under the ζωστήρ, and can very well bear the
-meaning of a waist-cloth. Such garments were worn at all periods;
-they formed the regular dress of the men of the pre-Hellenic age;
-they occur also on vases of the classical period.[34] There is no
-necessity, therefore, to suppose, as Studniczka does, that the word
-here is synonymous with χιτών. Studniczka supports his interpretation
-of this passage by another, _Odyssey_, xiv., 478 f., where Eumæus is
-describing to Odysseus an occasion when he and comrades had to sleep
-in the open air, and he felt the cold because he had foolishly left
-his cloak behind him, and had only his shield and ζῶμα φαεινόν. The
-expression could here maintain its signification of “waist-cloth”;
-only, the simple meaning is obscured by a phrase some five lines
-further on, when Eumæus continues:
-
- οὐ γὰρ ἔχω χλαῖναν· παρὰ μ᾽ ἤπαφε δαίμων
- οἰοχίτων᾽ ἔμεναι.
-
-“I had no cloak: some god beguiled me to go with only a single
-garment.”
-
- [34] Cp. Fig. 7 (_a_); the human figure struggling with the
- Minotaur.
-
-The simple meaning of οἰοχίτων is, “wearing only a chiton,” or
-under-garment; but without stretching the meaning of the expression
-very far, we can easily suppose its being applied to a man clad only
-in a waist-cloth; so that even here it is not necessary to suppose
-that ζῶμα is another word for χιτών.
-
-We must next consider the over-garment worn by the Homeric heroes,
-for which several words are used, the most common being χλαῖνα and
-φᾶρος.
-
-The χλαῖνα was used not only as an article of dress, but also as a
-blanket to sleep under;[35] as a rug to cover couches and seats;[36]
-a constant epithet is οὔλη, so that its material was evidently
-woollen; and the adjectives ἀλεξάνεμος and ἀνεμοσκεπής, “warding off
-winds,” show that it was worn for warmth, as a protection against
-cold winds.[37] It was thrown off for exercise or when speed in
-running was required.[38] The style in which the χλαῖνα was worn
-varied somewhat; the verbs regularly used for the act of putting it
-on are ἀμφιβάλλω and ἀμφιέννυμι, “to throw round”; περιβάλλω also
-occurs, and sometimes it is described as being placed ἐπ᾽ ὤμοισι,
-“upon the shoulders”; for taking it off, ἀποβάλλω and ἀποτίθημι
-are used, and in one case ἐκδύνω occurs, though this word should
-more correctly be applied to the χιτών. The constant use of ἀμφί,
-“around,” shows that the χλαῖνα was not a garment which was drawn on
-over the head, like the χιτών, but was a square or rectangular piece
-of material wrapped round the figure or laid over the shoulders. We
-read in Homer of the χλαῖνα ἁπλοΐς, “single cloak,” and the χλαῖνα
-διπλῆ, “double cloak”; the former expression must mean a cloak worn
-single, without being folded over; such a garment might possibly be
-put on as the himation was in later time, one end being laid on the
-shoulder, so that the mass of the material hung down towards the
-back; this mass of material would then be drawn across the back under
-the arm which was then left exposed, and across the chest, and the
-end would be thrown over the shoulder towards the back. The garment
-could easily be drawn up so as to cover both arms if the temperature
-required greater warmth, or it might be worn over both shoulders
-like a shawl, without being doubled, and the frequent mention of
-the shoulders in connection with the χλαῖνα seem to point to this
-style as the most common.[39] The χλαῖνα διπλῆ is mentioned twice in
-Homer—once in the _Iliad_ and once in the _Odyssey_; in both cases it
-is described as being fastened with a brooch:
-
- ἀμφὶ δ᾽ ἄρα χλαῖναν περονήσατο φοινικόεσσαν
- διπλῆν ἐκταδίην.
- [_Iliad_, x., 133.]
-
-“And about him he fastened a purple cloak, doubled, with no folds.”
-
- χλαῖναν πορφυρέην οὐλὴν ἔχε δῖος Ὀδυσσεύς,
- διπλῆν· αὐτὰρ οἱ περόνη χρυσοῖο τέτυκτο
- αὐλοῖσιν διδύμοισι.
- [_Odyssey_, xix., 225.]
-
-“Goodly Odysseus had a purple cloak, woollen and doubled; and it had
-a brooch wrought of gold, with a double groove for the pins.”
-
- [35] _Odyssey_, iii., 349.
-
- [36] _Ibid._, xvii., 86.
-
- [37] _Ibid._, xiv., 522.
-
- [38] _Iliad_, ii., 183.
-
- [39] See Fig. 7 (_a_), where the second figure from the right is
- represented wearing only the χλαῖνα ἁπλοΐς.
-
-In these cases the χλαῖνα was obviously folded over double, though
-in what way is not expressly stated; if the garment consisted of a
-wide rectangular piece of material, it might be doubled along its
-length horizontally and fastened with a brooch on one shoulder, like
-Apollo’s himation in the Thasos relief.[40] This method, however,
-is not found on the earliest vases, which, though not contemporary
-with Homer, are yet the nearest monumental evidence obtainable;
-moreover, the additional expression, ἐκταδίην, seems to be against
-this interpretation; the meaning of ἐκταδίην seems to be “stretched
-out straight,” and the word could hardly be applied to a garment
-draped in such a way as to fall in many folds; it is reasonable,
-therefore, to suppose that the χλαῖνα διπλῆ consisted of a large
-square[41] of woollen material folded along the diagonal, so that two
-opposite corners lay on each other; it would be laid on the shoulders
-so that these two corners hung down in the middle of the back, no
-folds being formed (ἐκταδίην), and the other two points hung down
-one on each side of the front; a brooch would prevent the cloak from
-slipping off the shoulders; this shawl-like method of wearing the
-mantle is frequently represented on the black figured vases.[42] The
-δίπτυχον λώπην, “double cloak,” which Athena wears, ἀμφ᾽ ὤμοισι, when
-disguised as a shepherd,[43] is probably a garment worn in this same
-fashion, and the δίπλακες which Helen and Andromache are described
-as weaving in the _Iliad_[44] are perhaps intended for cloaks to be
-so worn.
-
- [40] E. A. Gardner, _Handbook of Greek Sculpture_, p. 128.
-
- [41] Unless the garment were square, the diagonally opposite
- corners would not coincide when folded corner to corner; they are
- invariably represented on the vases as coinciding.

-
-The place of the χλαῖνα is frequently taken by the φᾶρος, constant
-epithets of which are καλὸν and μέγα, “fine” and “large,” so that
-we may conclude that the φᾶρος was an ample and somewhat luxurious
-garment. The word is used not only for an article of wearing
-apparel, but also for the shroud of Laertes,[45] and for the sails
-of a ship,[46] so that Studniczka’s conjecture that it was made of
-linen is probably right, and the difference of material probably
-constitutes the chief distinction between the φᾶρος and the χλαῖνα.
-The φᾶρος is several times described as “white” and “well-washed,”
-and the epithets ἀργυφεόν, λέπτον, χαρίεν, “silvery,” “fine,”
-and “graceful,” which are used of the φᾶρος of Calypso, are more
-applicable to a linen than to a woollen garment. Φᾶρος is the only
-word used in Homer for the dress of both men and women. When worn by
-men, the φᾶρος was in all probability draped in the same fashion as
-the χλαῖνα, but the woman’s φᾶρος would be draped differently, as
-will be shown later.
-
- [45] _Odyssey_, ii., 97; xix., 137.
-
- [46] _Ibid._, v., 257.
-
-The χλαῖνα and the φᾶρος were not worn in battle, since they would
-encumber the wearer too much; armour was put on over the chiton,
-or in some cases warriors wore the skin of some wild beast slain
-in combat; we hear, for example, of Agamemnon wearing a lion’s
-skin,[47] and of Menelaus and Paris wearing leopards’ skins.[48] A
-man’s costume was completed by sandals, πέδιλα, which we are told
-were made of leather;[49] no mention is made of any head-covering
-worn in the pursuit of peaceful occupations; if any protection were
-needed, a fold of the mantle might easily be drawn up over the head;
-in battle, of course, some kind of helmet was worn, which was made
-usually of bronze, or sometimes of hide,[50] covered with boars’
-tusks, such as have been found at Mycenæ.

-
-The women’s dress in Homer consists of two garments, the πέπλος and
-the κρήδεμνον or καλύπτρη, called also in one case the κάλυμμα;[51]
-the word ἑανός which is used sometimes as a substantive instead of
-πέπλος, sometimes as an adjective, simply means “something to be
-worn.”
-
- [51] _Ibid._, xxiv., 93.
-
-The principal garment of the women was the πέπλος. The derivation
-of the word is uncertain; it is probably connected with some root
-meaning to cover or wrap; the word is used in the _Iliad_ to signify
-things other than dress; for the covering of a chariot[52] and for
-the wrappings of the vessel which held the ashes of Hector;[53] the
-πέπλος, therefore, like the χλαῖνα and φᾶρος consisted of a square
-or rectangular piece of material which could be used for various
-purposes. When worn as a garment, it was held in place by means of
-brooches or pins (περόναι, ἐνεταί) and a girdle. A passage in the
-_Iliad_[54] gives a description of an elaborate toilette made by Hera
-when she is setting out to beguile Zeus:
-
- ἀμφὶ δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἀμβρόσιον ἑανὸν ἕσαθ᾽ ὅν οἱ Ἀθήνη
- ἔξυσ᾽ ἀσκήσασα, τίθει δ᾽ ἐνὶ δαίδαλα πολλά·
- χρυσείῃς δ᾽ ἐνετῇσι κατὰ στῆθος περονᾶτο,
- ζώσατο δὲ ζώνην ἑκατὸν θυσάνοις ἀραρυῖαν,
- ἐν δ᾽ ἄρα ἕρματα ἧκεν ἐϋτρήτοισι λοβοῖσιν,
- τρίγληνα μορόεντα· χάρις δ᾽ ἀπελάμπετο πολλή.
- κρηδέμνῳ δ᾽ ἐφύπερθε καλύψατο δία θεάων
- καλῷ νηγατέῳ, λευκὸν δ᾽ ἦν ἠέλιος ὥς.
- ποσσὶ δ᾽ ὑπὸ λιπαροῖσιν ἐδήσατο καλὰ πέδιλα.
-
-“Then she clad her in her fragrant robe that Athena wrought
-delicately for her, and therein set many things beautifully made, and
-fastened it over her breast with clasps of gold. And she girdled it
-with a girdle arrayed with a hundred tassels; and she set ear-rings
-in her pierced ears—ear-rings of three drops and glistering—and
-therefrom shone grace abundantly. And with a veil over all the
-peerless goddess veiled herself, a fair, new veil, bright as the sun,
-and beneath her shining feet she bound goodly sandals.”—LANG, LEAF,
-AND MYERS.
-
- [52] _Ibid._, v., 194.
-
- [53] _Ibid._, xxiv., 795.
-
- [54] xiv., 178 f.
-
-We gather from this passage that the garment was fastened on the
-shoulders by brooches or pins inserted, κατὰ στῆθος, which Studniczka
-rightly explains[55] as meaning “down towards the breast,” a method
-of fastening which is represented on the François vase[56] and
-elsewhere; the material is drawn from the back, and wraps over that
-which covers the front; the pins are then inserted downwards, and
-hold the two thicknesses of material together; the dress is held
-in to the figure by a girdle worn round the waist, over which any
-superfluous length of material could be drawn, forming a κόλπος or
-pouch. No mention is made in Homer of the ἀπόπτυγμα, or overfold,
-which is a common feature of the women’s dress in historic times; but
-from its constant appearance on the earliest monuments, it is not
-unreasonable to suppose that it formed an element in women’s costume
-of the draped type from the very earliest times. It is formed by
-folding over the upper edge of the garment before it is put on, in
-such a way that a double thickness of material covers the figure from
-the neck to a distance a little above the waist in front and behind.
-The original purpose of this overfold may have been either to secure
-greater warmth, or to prevent the dress from tearing at the points
-where the brooches were inserted; such a thing might easily happen,
-if only the single stuff were used, since the whole mass of material
-hung down from the two points where it was secured on the shoulders.

-
-Another question which arises in connection with the Homeric peplos
-is as to whether it was worn open or closed at the side; a passage
-which has been much discussed in this relation is the one which
-describes the peplos given by Antinous to Penelope, with its twelve
-brooches:
-
- Ἀντινόῳ μὲν ἔνεικε μέγαν περικαλλέα πέπλον
- ποικίλον· ἐν δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἔσαν περόναι δυοκαίδεκα πᾶσαι
- χρύσειαι, κληῗσιν ἐϋγνάμπτοις ἀραρυῖαι.
- [_Odyssey_, xviii., 292.]
-
-“For Antinous, his henchman, bare a broidered robe, great and very
-fair, wherein were golden brooches, twelve in all, fitted with
-well-bent clasps.”—BUTCHER AND LANG.
-
-The point in dispute is the purpose of the twelve brooches.
-Studniczka maintains that two were used to fasten the dress on
-the shoulders, and the remaining ten to hold it together down the
-open side; he states in support of this theory that sewing was not
-commonly practised by the Homeric women, although he has previously
-pointed out that the men’s chiton was always sewn; this being the
-case, it is only natural to suppose that the women applied the art
-of sewing to their own garments also where necessary. There is no
-example in early art of a peplos fastened in this way with brooches;
-it is invariably joined round, the seam being covered by a band of
-ornament either woven in the edge of the material or embroidered upon
-it afterwards. In fifth century art we sometimes find representations
-of the peplos worn open down the side; it may have been worn so also
-in Homeric times; if the garment were wide, one edge could easily be
-wrapped over the other and held in place by the girdle, so as not
-to leave the figure too much exposed. It is more probable that the
-twelve brooches in question were used to fasten the dress on the
-shoulders and down the upper arms six on each side, forming a kind of
-sleeve to the elbow. That the ample Ionic chiton was worn in this way
-in later times is manifest from the numerous vase-paintings and other
-monuments of the late sixth and early fifth centuries; it may have
-been a fashion peculiar to the East in Homeric times, but Eastern
-fashions and customs were not unknown to the author of the Homeric
-poems. We read[57] of rich robes that were the work of Sidonian women
-whom Paris brought from Sidon, and it is not unlikely that Antinous,
-wishing to offer Penelope some rich gift, would choose a luxurious
-garment brought from the East.
-
- [57] _Iliad_, vi., 289.
-
-However, we must regard the use of twelve brooches as exceptional,
-and consider that the peplos was ordinarily fastened with only
-two, and with a girdle round the waist. That it was a fairly ample
-garment and trailed on the ground behind, is proved by the epithets
-τανυπέπλος and ἑλκεσιπέπλος, “with trailing robes,” frequently
-applied to women. Athena finds it certainly too cumbersome to fight
-in; for when she is preparing for battle, we are told that she
-lets her peplos slip to the ground, and puts on the chiton of her
-father,[58] Zeus. A very constant epithet of the peplos is ποικίλος,
-or sometimes the intensified form, παμποίκιλος,[59] The meaning of
-the adjective is, “bright, varied, covered with patterns.” Whether
-these patterns were woven in the material at the loom or embroidered
-is a question not easy to decide.[60]
-
- [58] _Ibid._, v., 733; viii., 385.
-
- [59] _Odyssey_, xv., 105; xviii., 292.
-
- [60] See section on “Materials and Ornamentation.”
-
-In some cases they were apparently woven, in others probably
-embroidered.
-
-The silver-shining φᾶρος which Calypso puts on[61] takes the place
-of the peplos, and was probably worn in the same way,[62] with the
-overfold and girdle, over which the superfluous length was drawn,
-forming the κόλπος, or pouch, which varied in depth according to
-the wearer’s fancy. That it was sometimes fairly roomy is proved by
-the fact that the nurse of Eumæus was able to hide three cups ὑπὸ
-κόλπῳ[63] “under the folds of her dress.”
-
- [61] _Odyssey_, v., 230.
-
- [62] The passage is repeated word for word of Circe, _Odyssey_,
- x., 543.
-
- [63] _Odyssey_, xv., 469.
-
-The material of which the girdle (ζώνη) was made is uncertain. We
-hear of golden girdles of Calypso and Circe, and of a fringed girdle
-of Hera with a hundred tassels, but these are exceptional. The
-ordinary girdle may have been of metal, or cord, or leather; this
-last material is suggested by the magic κεστὸς ἱμᾶς of Aphrodite,
-which may have been a girdle; or, since we are told that the goddess
-took it ἀπὸ στήθησφιν,[64] “from her bosom,” and that Hera received
-it and ἑῷ ἐγκάτθετο κόλπῳ, “put it on her own bosom,” perhaps it was
-something of the nature of Athena’s ægis, which also possessed magic
-power. On a vase in the British Museum[65] a goddess is represented
-wearing an ægis, and would naturally be interpreted as Athena,
-were it not that the vase-painter has clearly written her name,
-“Aphrodite,” by her side. It has been suggested that he has made a
-slip, and meant to write “Athena”; but in all probability he knew
-what he was doing, and it was his intention to represent Aphrodite
-wearing her κεστὸς ἱμᾶς.
-
- [64] _Iliad_, xiv., 214.
-
- [65] B., 254.
-
-The second garment which was essential to the completion of a woman’s
-dress, at least when she appeared in public, was the κρήδεμνον or
-καλύπτρη,[66] which served both as cloak and veil. It was probably
-put on over the shoulders like a shawl, without being folded, in such
-a way that it could be drawn over the head without difficulty, and
-across the face, serving as a veil.[67] Sometimes it may have been
-doubled corner to corner diagonally and laid on the shoulder. That
-it was worn over the head is clear from _Odyssey_, v., 232, where
-Calypso puts on her φᾶρος; κεφαλῇ δ᾽ ἐρύπερθε καλύπτρην, “and over
-her head a veil.” From the description of Penelope, when she appears
-among the suitors “holding her shining veil before her cheeks,” we
-may gather that it was customary for women to veil themselves before
-men.[68] No woman would think of leaving the house without her
-κρήδεμνον. Helen, though she quits her house in haste, first veils
-herself with shining linen,[69] ἀργεννῇσι καλυψαμένη ὀθόνῃσιν, and
-it is only when they are far from the town and enjoying the quietude
-of the river bank, that Nausicaa and her attendant maidens throw off
-their veils for the ballplay.[70]
-
- [66] The κάλυμμα κυάνεον, “dark blue veil,” of Thetis (_Iliad_,
- xxiv., 93) is the same garment.
-
- [67] Hera is represented wearing it so on the François vase, Fig.
- 7 (_c_), and although her head is not covered, yet, from the way
- in which the folds lie high upon the nape of the neck, it is
- clear that they could easily be drawn up over the head (cp. also,
- Aphrodite, on the same vase).
-
- [68] Thetis is represented in the François vase just about to
- veil or unveil her face; though the head is missing, it is clear,
- from the position of the arm, that the κρήδεμνον was worn over
- the head.
-
- [69] _Iliad_, iii., 141.
-
- [70] _Odyssey_, vi., 100.
-
-From the constant use of the epithets λιπαρός and λαμπρός, “shining”
-or “bright,” we may infer that the κρήδεμνον was usually made of
-linen, and, in summer at least, it was probably a fine, light
-garment, possibly even semi-transparent. In no case are any pins or
-brooches mentioned in connection with it; and from the ease with
-which it can be slipped off,[71] it is reasonable to infer that it
-was worn without fastening of any kind, like a shawl or scarf. In
-the passage where Andromache casts off her head-dress in her anguish
-at the death of Hector,[72] Studniczka supposes that because the
-κρήδεμνον is mentioned as falling off last, the other δέσματα must
-have been worn over it and held it in place; this seems to be putting
-a too literal and even prosaic interpretation upon the lines. There
-is no occasion to suppose that the poet enumerated the various parts
-of the head-dress in the order in which they fell; and if we read in
-that spirit, we shall frequently find that the Homeric heroes put on
-their cloaks before their undergarments; for more than once the φᾶρος
-or χλαῖνα is mentioned before the χιτών.[73]
-
- [71] Cp. _Iliad_, xxii., 406, 470.
-
- [72] _Ibid._, xxii., 468 f.
-
- [73] _Odyssey_, xvi., 173; xxiii., 155, etc.
-
-The various parts which composed this head-dress have given rise to
-much discussion. The passage runs:
-
- τῆλε δ᾽ ἀπὸ κρατὸς βάλε δέσματα σιγαλόεντα,
- ἄμπυκα κεκρύφαλόν τε ἰδὲ πλεκτὴν ἀναδέσμην
- κρήδεμνόν θ᾽.
- [_Iliad_, xxii., 468.]
-
-“And far from her head she flung the shining bonds, diadem and
-kerchief, and meshy net and veil.”
-
-The δέσματα σιγαλόεντα are explained by the words which follow, and
-which stand in apposition. No question is raised as to the nature
-of the ἄμπυξ; it was a metal diadem like the στεφάνη, worn across
-the front of the hair. The κρήδεμνον has already been explained; the
-κεκρύφαλος and the πλεκτὴ ἀναδέσμη need some comment. The former is
-sometimes taken to mean a “net,” but it will be shown later that
-this meaning is better applied to the πλεκτὴ ἀναδέσμη; the word
-κεκρύφαλος is obviously connected with the verb κρύπτω to cover,
-and therefore means “something which covers,” “a covering.” In all
-probability, then, the κεκρύφαλος is simply a kerchief worn on top of
-the head behind the ἄμπυξ. The ἀναδέσμη is obviously something which
-serves to bind up (ἀναδέω) the hair and hold it in place, which is
-the proper function of a net. The epithet πλεκτή, which Helbig[74]
-has tried to explain as “folded,” means primarily “plaited”; it is
-applied elsewhere in the Homeric poems to baskets,[75] which shows
-its perfect appropriateness to the meshes of a net. We need give no
-other meaning, then, to the πλεκτὴ ἀναδέσμη, but can easily explain
-it as a net that confined the long hair behind. This completes the
-head-dress proper, the κρήδεμνον being a separate scarf or shawl worn
-over it.

-
-The women’s dress in Homer is completed by sandals, and for ornament
-they wore, in addition to the brooches which fastened their clothes,
-ear-rings and necklaces of varied workmanship; the γναμπταὶ ἕλικες
-and κάλυκες of which we read[76] are perhaps spiral-shaped brooches
-and ear-rings or necklaces in the shape of lilies, such as have been
-found in the later Mycenæan graves.
-
- [76] _Odyssey_, ix., 247.
-
-Few colours are mentioned in Homer in connection with dress. The
-epithets “white” and “shining” are frequently applied to the chiton
-and κρήδεμνον and to the φᾶρος. Φοινικόεις and πορφύρεος are
-frequently used of the χλαῖνα and the δίπλαξ, the former meaning
-“red,” and the latter probably “dark purple”; the word is used also
-of the sea and of clouds. The veil of Thetis[77] is described as
-κυάνεος, indigo, probably, or blue-black, since we hear immediately
-afterwards that “no garment ever was blacker.” The dark veil may be a
-sign of mourning; but in any case, the epithet might be used of the
-garments of the sea-goddess, just as κυανοχαίτης, “blue-haired,” is
-applied to Poseidon. Only once is yellow mentioned, and that in the
-case of “saffron robed dawn.” The veil of Hera, that was “bright as
-the sun,”[78] might have been yellow-gold. Yellow is a favourite
-colour among the Greek peasant women of to-day for the kerchiefs
-with which they cover their heads; and in the clear atmosphere and
-brilliant sunshine of Greece, it is natural to wear bright colours.

-The embroidered robes of the women would naturally be worked in
-various colours, among which red and blue probably predominated, as
-they do on the sixth century statues on the Acropolis at Athens, and
-also in more modern Greek embroideries.
-
-Enough has been said on the subject of Homeric dress to show that
-it differs entirely from the pre-Hellenic type of costume which
-appears on the monuments from Knossos and elsewhere. The absence of
-contemporary monumental evidence renders it impossible to make any
-very definite statements as to the details of Homeric dress; but the
-poems themselves afford sufficient proof of the fact that it was of
-the draped type, and resembled Greek dress as we know it from the
-monuments dating from historic times; the dress of the classical
-period is simply a development of that described in the Homeric
-poems, with the addition of some foreign elements which blended with
-it and somewhat transformed it in its details, while still preserving
-the main types unaltered.

-
-When we come to the question of Greek dress during the classical
-period, we find that the literary evidence is somewhat scanty;
-however, in addition to the various casual references to dress that
-are to be found chiefly in the plays, there are a few passages which
-bear directly on the historical development of dress in Greece. The
-most important of these is a passage in Herodotus,[79] in which he
-describes a disastrous expedition against Ægina undertaken by the
-Athenians during the first half of the sixth century, probably in
-the year 568 B.C.; only one man returned alive to Athens, to meet
-with an ignominious death at the hands of the wives of those who had
-perished. Herodotus shall tell the story in his own words:
-
- Κομισθεὶς γὰρ ἐς τὰς Ἀθήνας ἀπήγγειλε τὸ πάθος· πυθομένας
- δὲ τὰς γυναῖκας τῶν ἐπ᾽ Αἴγιναν στρατευσαμένων ἄνδρων
- δεινόν τι ποιησαμένας ἐκεῖνον μοῦνον ἐξ ἀπάντων σωθῆναι,
- πέριξ τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦτον λαβούσας καὶ κεντεύσας τῇσι
- περόνῃσι τῶν ἱματίων εἰρωτᾶν ἑκάστην αὐτέων ὅ κῃ εἴη ὁ
- ἑωυτῆς ἀνήρ. Καὶ τοῦτον μὲν οὕτω διαφθαρῆναι, Ἀθηναίοισι
- δὲ ἔτι τοῦ πάθεος δεινότερόν τι δόξαι εἶναι τὸ τῶν γυναικῶν
- ἔργον. Ἄλλῳ μὲν δὴ οὐκ ἔχειν ὅτεω ζημιώσωσι τὰς γυναῖκας,
- τὴν δὲ ἐσθῆτα μετέβαλον αὐτέων ἐς τὴν Ἰάδα· ἐφόρεον γὰρ δὴ
- πρὸ τοῦ αἱ τῶν Ἀθηναίων γυναῖκες ἐσθῆτα Δωρίδα τῇ Κορινθίῃ
- παραπλησιωτάτην· μετέβαλον ὦν ἐς τὸν λίνεον κιθῶνα, ἵνα
- δὴ περόνῃσι μὴ χρεώνται. Ἔστι δὲ ἀληθεϊ λόγῳ χρεωμένοισι
- οὐκ Ἰὰς αὕτη ἡ ἐσθὴς τὸ παλαιὸν, ἀλλὰ Κάειρα, ἐπεὶ ἥ γε
- Ἑλληνικὴ ἐσθῆς πᾶσα ἡ ἀρχαίη τῶν γυναικῶν ἡ αὐτὴ ἦν τὴν νῦν
- Δωρίδα καλεῦμεν.
-
-“When he came back to Athens bringing word of the calamity, the wives
-of those who had been sent out on the expedition took it sorely to
-heart, that he alone should have survived the slaughter of all the
-rest; they therefore crowded round the man and struck him with the
-brooches by which their dresses were fastened, each, as she struck,
-asking him where he had left her husband. And the man died in this
-way. The Athenians thought the deed of the women more horrible even
-than the fate of the troops. As, however, they did not know how else
-to punish them, they changed their dress, and compelled them to
-wear the costume of the Ionians. Till this time the Athenian women
-had worn a Dorian dress, shaped nearly like that which prevails at
-Corinth. Henceforth they were made to wear the linen tunic, which
-does not require brooches.
-
-“In very truth, however, this dress is not originally Ionian, but
-Carian; for anciently the Greek women all wore the costume which is
-now called the Dorian.”—RAWLINSON.
-
- [79] v., 87.
-
-He goes on to say that after this the Argive and Æginetan women, out
-of rivalry with the Athenians, wore much larger brooches than before.
-
-The importance of the passage is that it tells us of the two types of
-dress worn by Greek women. We learn that down to the early years of
-the sixth century all the Greek women wore the Dorian dress fastened
-with pins of such size and strength that they could become dangerous
-weapons in the hands of women excited by grief or passion. Later the
-Athenian women adopted a different dress, which did not need these
-large pins to fasten it, and which Herodotus calls the linen Ionic
-chiton, afterwards correcting himself and explaining that this kind
-of dress was really Carian in its origin.
-
-The story of the slaying of the sole survivor of the Æginetan
-expedition, and of the punishment meted out to the Athenian women,
-seems in itself far-fetched and highly improbable; but there is
-probably some foundation of truth in it. Possibly the tale was
-invented by Herodotus, or, more probably, was current in his day
-as an explanation of a change in the style of dress which actually
-took place in Athens at the beginning of the sixth century, or more
-probably even earlier. Among the sumptuary laws introduced by Solon
-was one regulating women’s dress, and forbidding them to wear more
-than three garments when they went out to funerals or festivals.[80]
-The passing of such a law could only be necessary if the Athenian
-women had already adopted a luxurious and extravagant style of
-dress. Now, the essence of the Doric dress, as will be shown later,
-is simplicity; it did not admit of great variety or elaboration. On
-the other hand, that the Ionic dress was somewhat luxurious is clear
-from Thucydides, i., 6; so we may infer that by the time of Solon’s
-archonship, 594 B.C., the Athenian women had already adopted the
-Ionic dress, and had perhaps elaborated it by some modifications
-added by their own invention. If this is so, Herodotus’s story places
-the change at least a generation later than its actual occurrence;
-but as he is writing at a distance of more than a century from the
-event, we need not be surprised if he is a generation or so out in
-his dating.

-
-The simple Doric dress mentioned by Herodotus as being universally
-worn by Greek women down to the sixth century, finds abundant
-illustration in early art, especially in the Attic black-figured
-vases. It consists of a large oblong piece of material, in length
-about 1 ft. more than the height of the wearer, in width about twice
-the distance from elbow to elbow when the wearer’s arms are held out
-horizontally at shoulder level. The additional foot in height is used
-up by folding the upper edge over so that the material is double from
-neck to waist. The garment is put on by folding it round the body and
-pinning it on the shoulders at points a third of the distance from
-the middle line and the edges respectively. A diagram will make the
-arrangement clear.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 9.]
-
-_a_, _b_, _c_, _d_ represents the original rectangular piece of
-material, _ab_ being twice the wearers distance from elbow to
-elbow—that is to say, about 5 ft. 9 in.—_ac_ being 1 ft. more than
-the wearer’s height—namely, about 6 ft. 6 in.
-
-After the upper edge _ab_ has been folded over to a width of about 1
-ft., the dress is pinned on the shoulders at the points _e e′_ and
-_f f′_; the part which covers the back is drawn slightly forward
-over the front, so that there are four thicknesses of material where
-the pins are inserted; the garment is then girded at the waist, the
-position of which is indicated by the points _g_ and _h_, and any
-superfluous length is drawn up over the girdle.
-
-The distance between the points _a′ f_, _f e_, _e′ f′_, etc., varies
-slightly, but is always approximately one-sixth of the whole width of
-the material. In practice, a better effect is produced if the width
-of stuff _e′ f′_, which covers the back of the neck, is shorter than
-the other sections.
-
-The garment is usually represented as being sewn up along the side,
-sometimes along the whole length _ac_, _bd_, sometimes only along
-the length from the waist to the feet—that is, along the edges _gc_,
-_hd_; sometimes it is left open, being held in place only by the
-girdle. On the black-figured vases it is usually the closed Doric
-dress which is represented, probably because it offered the least
-difficulty to a technique which necessarily imposed somewhat close
-limitations on the artists who practised it. A good example is to be
-found in the figures of the Fates from the François vase, which has
-already been quoted in illustration of the Homeric peplos.
-
-[Illustration: _Photo. by The English Photographic Co._
- FIG. 10.—Metope from the Temple of Zeus, at Olympia.
- _Face page_ 44.]
-
-A freer and more realistic representation is to be found in the
-sculptured metopes from the temple of Zeus, at Olympia. Athena in
-the metope representing the cleaning of the Augean stables wears the
-closed Doric dress; here the ἀπόπτυγμα, or overfold, falls slightly
-below the waist, and below it the kolpos is clearly visible, the
-slight pouch formed by drawing the superfluous length of the material
-over the girdle.[81] On the vases the pouch is almost invariably
-absent, and the girdle is always visible. This is also the case in
-one of the archaic statues on the Acropolis at Athens, where the
-Doric dress is worn over an Ionic chiton. A slight variation of the
-dress is to be seen on the nymph of the Atlas metope at Olympia,
-where the overfold hangs considerably below the waist and no girdle
-or pouch is visible; here the additional length of the overfold
-probably obviated the necessity of a pouch, and the girdle, which is
-hidden, simply served to hold the dress in to the figure. A bronze
-statuette from Herculaneum shows the dress sewn up only from the
-waist downwards (Fig. 11).
-

- _Face page_ 45.]
-
-As time went on, the dimensions of the Doric dress became more ample,
-or at least were represented so in art; both pouch and overfold
-become deeper and the folds of the garment generally grow fuller; the
-distance of the shoulder pins from the points which hang immediately
-under the arms becomes proportionately larger, no longer being
-an exact sixth of the whole width of the dress. The most perfect
-examples in art of the Doric dress in its full development are to
-be found in the maidens of the Parthenon frieze and the Caryatids
-of the Erechtheum. Here the pouch is emphasized, and its graceful
-curve dipping over the hips, though idealized, is at the same
-time perfectly naturalistic, as can be shown at once by practical
-experiment.
-
-The Munich copy of Cephisodotus’s Eirene holding the infant Plutus
-presents a very good example of the closed Doric dress as it was worn
-in the fourth century; it will be seen that the folds are more ample,
-and the overfold and pouch fall to a distance considerably below the
-waist, so that the garment must be larger than that originally worn,
-if we are to accept early monuments as faithful representations of
-the style of dress actually worn.
-
-The simpler form of the Doric dress, namely, that which is unsewn
-and left open down the side, is not found represented in art before
-the fifth century; it becomes fairly common on red-figured vases,
-where it is very frequently depicted ungirt.[82] Sometimes it is the
-only garment worn; in other cases it is worn over an under-dress. A
-sculptured example is to be found in an Artemis in Dresden,[83] for
-the original of which Furtwängler claims Praxitelean authorship.
-This was probably the dress worn by Laconian girls, to whom the
-term φαινομηρίς, “showing the thigh,” was applied by some ancient
-writers.[84]

-
-A variety of this dress appears in art about the middle of the
-fifth century; it is sometimes known as the “peplos of Athena,”
-because Pheidias chose it as the style in which to drape his statue
-of the Athena Parthenos. The word “peplos” is usually reserved for
-the Doric dress whether open or closed, the word “chiton” for the
-Ionic, though the latter is frequently applied to the Doric, and
-is invariably used of the under-dress, when the two styles became
-confused. The “peplos of Athena” is similar to the ordinary open
-Doric dress, except that the overfold is longer and reaches to the
-thighs and the girdle is worn over it.[85] The material is pulled up
-very slightly over the girdle, but not sufficiently to hide it in
-front, the purpose of the slight pouch being merely to prevent the
-dress from dragging under the arms, and from trailing on the ground
-at the sides. The girdle is at first worn round the waist, but
-later it is put on higher, until, on the Athena from the frieze of
-the altar at Pergamon, it is worn immediately under the breasts. The
-clearest representation in art is to be found in the Varvakeion copy
-of the Athena Parthenos, and it occurs also in many representations
-of Athena which were obviously influenced by Pheidias. In the Dresden
-“Lemnia,”[86] the girdle is passed not only over the overfold, but
-also round the ægis; in the “torso Medici”[87] this overgirt peplos
-is worn over an under-dress of the Ionic type. The date of the
-introduction of this style of wearing the Doric dress is a point of
-some uncertainty. The question arises as to whether it was invented
-by Pheidias or was already commonly worn and adopted by him as being
-most appropriate for his great representation of the maiden goddess.
-Certainly, in sculpture we have no example of it before the time
-of Pheidias, unless we assign an earlier date to the little relief
-of the “mourning Athena,” which seems improbable; the Iris of the
-Parthenon frieze wears it; and among slightly later works the Victory
-of Pæonius at Olympia is a good example, though here the dress is
-slightly varied by being fastened only on one shoulder. Further
-evidence is afforded by the vases, but even these do not give any
-certain proof; the dress does not appear before the middle of the
-fifth century, but after that date it becomes fairly frequent, and
-is given not only to Athena but to other divine or mythological
-personages, such as Persephone,[88] Nike, Cassandra, and also to
-hand-maids attending on ladies in more elaborate costume. In some of
-these vases the work is obviously post-Pheidian, but many of them
-were probably made before the completion of the Athena Parthenos,
-and the fact that the overgirt dress is so frequently represented on
-slaves renders it likely that it was a style of dress actually worn,
-and not merely the invention of the great sculptor’s imagination; it
-was probably selected by him for the Parthenos because of its extreme
-simplicity and the possibilities of statuesque dignity which it
-contained.

-
-It has been mentioned incidentally that the Doric peplos is sometimes
-found worn over another garment, but it is ordinarily the only
-garment worn indoors, and for outdoor wear another is sometimes put
-on over it. The overfold of the peplos could itself be used as a veil
-by drawing the back part up over the head; it is so used by a woman
-on a red-figured vase in the British Museum.[89]

-
-The outer garment worn by women in classical times corresponds to
-the Homeric κρήδεμνον and is called the ἱματίον, although this term
-is applied by Herodotus to the Doric peplos. By derivation the word
-simply means “a piece of clothing,” being connected with εἷμα and
-ἕννυμι. It consisted of a large oblong piece of material about 7 or
-8 feet in length, and in breadth about equal to the wearer’s height.
-Considerable variety was possible in the arrangement of it. It
-could be worn both as head covering and cloak, by placing the middle
-of the upper edge over the head and letting the two sides fall down
-over the shoulders like a shawl; it is often so depicted on the vases
-both black- and red-figured; the figure of Eleusis wears it so on
-the Triptolemus vase by Hieron in the British Museum.[90] It was
-frequently worn over the shoulders in this fashion without covering
-the head, and could easily be pushed back or drawn up over the head
-at will. A second very common way of arranging the himation was to
-draw one end over the left shoulder from the back towards the front,
-so that it hung down in a point in front, then to pass the mass of
-material across the back and under the right arm and throw the other
-end over the left shoulder again, so that the second point hung
-down towards the back: this was a very common style both for men
-and women.[91] If additional warmth were required, it could easily
-be obtained by drawing the cloak up over the right shoulder, so as
-not to leave the right arm and chest exposed. A combination of these
-two styles is seen in some of the Tanagra statuettes, where the
-himation is put on over the head. Both shoulders are covered; but
-instead of the two ends being allowed to hang down symmetrically one
-on each side of the front, one is taken up and thrown over the other
-shoulder, so that the whole figure is covered in the ample folds of
-the cloak.[92]

-
-A rather exceptional variant of the second style of wearing the
-himation is to be seen on a vase of Euxitheos in the British
-Museum,[93] where Briseis is represented wearing it with one end
-placed on the left shoulder, the mass of the cloak being drawn across
-the back; the other end is passed under the right arm, but instead of
-being thrown over the left shoulder again, is turned back over the
-right shoulder, and so leaves the front of the figure exposed.

-
-A third fashion is somewhat similar to the second, except that it
-leaves the front of the figure exposed to the waist or a little
-below. Instead of being drawn across the chest and thrown over the
-left shoulder, the second end is simply thrown over the forearm and
-held in place by the bend of the elbow.[94] A cloak worn in this
-style would be very likely to slip, so another fashion was adopted,
-which produced approximately the same effect, but which prevented
-the possibility of slipping. Instead of throwing the end over the
-left arm, the wearer secured it at the waist under the arm either
-by a brooch or more probably by simply tucking it under the girdle.
-To prevent the garment from hanging down too low and dragging on
-the ground, a large corner was usually doubled over before it was
-secured at the waist. The part thus fastened was sometimes passed
-over the end which hung down from the left shoulder, sometimes under
-it. The himation is so worn by Mausolus and Artemisia in their
-portrait statues from the Mausoleum. A very good example is the
-Athena of Velletri published by Furtwängler.[95]

-
-On many of the monuments of the Pheidian period and the time
-immediately preceding it, we find that the Doric peplos is worn alone
-or with a small cloak or shawl laid on the shoulders and hanging down
-the back, as in the case of the maidens carrying sacrificial vessels
-on the Parthenon frieze. This small shawl was perhaps worn more for
-ornament than for the sake of warmth, and an ample peplos of warm
-woollen material might be found sufficient protection.
-
-It may be objected that in the majority of the examples chosen as
-illustrations the himation is worn not over the Doric peplos, but
-over the Ionic chiton, and it has indeed been sometimes regarded as
-an element of the Ionic dress rather than of the Doric.
-
-It does, however, appear over the Doric peplos, _e.g._, in Fig. 18
-and on many black-figured Attic vases,[96] and it is not difficult to
-trace its development from the Homeric κρήδεμνον worn symmetrically
-over the head and shoulders. It is an easy step in advance to throw
-one end of the cloak over the opposite shoulder, push it back off
-the head, and bring one arm out free instead of letting it remain
-covered. Fig. 15 might serve to illustrate an intermediate stage
-between those represented in Figs. 14 and 17.
-
- [96] B.M., B. 331.
-
-An attempt will be made later to show that the Ionic himation was
-fastened with brooches, and had a different development. The wearing
-of the unpinned himation over the Ionic chiton is an instance of the
-blending of Doric and Ionic dress.
-
-The Doric dress of men was similar to that of women, both with regard
-to under-dress and cloak. The name χιτών is used for the under-dress,
-as it was in Homer, the word peplos being restricted to women’s
-garments. The outer garment of men as well as of women is called the
-himation.
-
-The Doric men’s chiton is fastened by brooches on the shoulders and
-girt in at the waist. It was a short garment reaching midway down the
-thighs, or to a distance just above the knees, had no overfold, and
-was narrower than the women’s peplos. No kolpos was worn, there being
-no superfluous length to dispose of. The side was sewn up so that the
-garment before being pinned was cylindrical in shape. This somewhat
-scanty garment was the only one worn by slaves, and men engaged in
-active pursuits and workmen frequently wore it fastened only on
-one shoulder, leaving the other bare and the arm quite free. When
-worn in this way it was called the χιτὼν ἔξωμις or ἑτερομάσχαλος;
-the god Hephaistos is usually represented wearing it in this way
-in his capacity as craftsman. We learn from Pollux, vii., 47, that
-the ἔξωμις was a περιβλῆμα as well as an ἔνδυμα, from which we may
-gather that a small cloak was sometimes worn fastened on one shoulder
-and girt round the waist, but left unsewn down the side. Fig. 19
-represents the χιτὼν ἔξωμις.
-
-Representations of Amazons and of Artemis the huntress are frequent,
-wearing the χιτὼν ἔξωμις; but in these cases it is usually a longer
-garment than that worn by men, and its superfluous length is drawn
-up over the girdle, forming a pouch; and then a second girdle is
-worn over this to prevent it from flapping in the wind. The Amazons
-of the Mausoleum frieze wear the short Doric dress without overfold
-and unsewn down the side; this, however, is perhaps merely a device
-on the part of the sculptor to afford an opportunity of displaying
-the physical forms, as well as the drapery. Various references in
-literature show that the Spartan women wore more scanty clothing than
-the Athenians; they are described as μονοχίτων, “wearing a single
-garment,” and we learn from Pausanias that the girls who competed
-in the running races at Olympia wore the short χιτὼν ἔξωμις. As
-monumental testimony to the truth of this statement, we have the
-statue of a girl runner in the Vatican Museum.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 19.—Bronze Statuette—British Museum.

-
-The τρίβων worn by Spartans and people of austere or Laconizing
-tendencies, like Socrates and the Cynic philosophers, was probably
-a scanty Doric chiton made in some coarse homespun material; men
-of leisure and elderly men preferred to wear a longer chiton with
-sleeves either sewn or fastened with brooches; this was the case even
-after the reaction against anything savouring of Orientalism which
-followed the Persian wars. If we are to consider the monuments, both
-sculpture and vases, as giving a realistic picture of Greek life,
-we shall see that men frequently wore only the himation; but it is
-difficult to believe that this was so, except, perhaps, in the height
-of summer.
-
-The methods of draping the himation were the same for men as for
-women, except that after the period of the early black-figured vases
-we do not find men represented wearing it laid on both shoulders like
-a shawl; nor do they ever wear it drawn up over the head, although
-in the sunshine of a southern summer some such protection against
-the heat might be considered indispensable. The favourite style for
-men was that of laying the one end on the left shoulder and drawing
-the rest round the body from the back and throwing the other end
-either across the left forearm or over the shoulder.[97] This was
-called wearing the himation ἐπὶ δεξιὰ, presumably because it was
-drawn closely round the right side of the body. It was considered a
-mark of good breeding to throw it over the shoulder and let it hang
-down in such a way as to cover the left arm completely.[98] To wear
-it ἐπ᾽ ἀριστέρα, “over the left side,” was a mark of boorishness, as
-we gather from Aristophanes _Birds_,[99] where Poseidon taunts the
-barbarian Triballus for wearing it so.

-
-Another variety of over-garment worn by men is the χλάμυς, a cloak
-used for riding or travelling. It is considered to be of Macedonian
-origin,[100] another form of it being the ζειρά, a rough Thracian
-riding-cloak sometimes depicted on Greek vases.[101] It
-was probably brought into Greece from the north by the Dorian
-invaders when they came down, and in its origin may have been no
-different from the Homeric χλαῖνα. In classical times it was always
-worn over the short chiton by travellers and riders, and was the
-characteristic dress of Ephebi.[102] The Parthenon frieze affords
-abundant illustration of the way in which it was worn. Like the
-himation, it consisted of a rectangular piece of material, but was of
-a slightly different shape, being rather more oblong; in fact, when
-doubled it would form almost a perfect square. Its normal dimensions
-would be about 6 to 7 feet long by 3½ feet wide. In putting it on,
-the wearer would double it round him and stand inside it, so that
-the middle line came along the back of the left arm and shoulder;
-he would then fasten the two sides together with a brooch on the
-right shoulder, close to the neck, at the points _e_ and _f_ in the
-accompanying diagram; the corners _d_ and _b_ would hang down in
-front and behind respectively at a distance of about 1 foot from the
-ground, and the corners _a_ and _c_ would hang down together along
-the right side; the left arm which held the reins in riding would
-thus be covered, while the right would be free to hold spear or whip.
-The left could easily be freed also by swinging the cloak round so
-that the brooch came under the chin instead of on the shoulder; the
-two corners _a_ and _c_ could then be thrown back over the arms. The
-χλάμυς is frequently represented in art worn in this way, especially
-in cases where the wearer is occupied in vigorous action.

-We must now turn to a consideration of the Ionic dress, which
-Herodotus tells us was adopted by the Athenian women in the sixth
-century B.C. According to his account, it was Carian in its origin;
-our knowledge of the Carians is somewhat vague and indefinite.
-We learn from Thucydides[103] that they originally inhabited the
-Cyclades, but were driven out by Minos of Crete; and a little
-later on[104] he speaks of them, together with the Phœnicians, as
-islanders who practised piracy. Herodotus[105] gives a slightly
-different account, saying that the Carian inhabitants of the islands
-were subjected by Minos and used by him to man his ships, and were
-not driven out until later by the Dorian and Ionian immigrants. He
-also mentions the belief of the Carians themselves that they were
-autochthonous in Caria, and attributes to them various inventions
-afterwards adopted by the Greeks. According to Thucydides, their
-method of burying the dead seems to have differed from that of the
-Greeks; and from the various accounts of the two historians, we may
-gather that their race was different, although possibly they were
-soon hellenized by their Ionian neighbours. If, as Herodotus tells
-us, the Greeks adopted some Carian inventions, it is not unlikely
-that they may also have adopted the Carian dress, or at least may
-have modified their own by assuming some Carian elements.[106]

- [105] i., 171.
-
- [106] According to Ridgeway, _Early Age of Greece_, the Carians,
- like the Leleges, were a Pelasgian people.
-
-In his account of the assumption of the Ionic dress by the Athenians,
-Herodotus speaks only of the women; but we know that it was worn by
-men also, partly from the evidence of the monuments and partly from
-Thucydides, who tells us[107] that not long previously to the time
-at which he is writing the elder men of the wealthy classes gave
-up wearing linen chitons and fastening their hair with the τέττιξ,
-“cicala,” a luxurious mode of dress common to them and their kinsfolk
-the Ionians. The Ionic dress was probably discarded by the Athenians
-shortly after the outbreak of the Persian war, when a reaction set in
-against Orientalism and a tendency towards greater simplicity began
-to manifest itself; Thucydides is writing more than a generation
-after the Persian wars, but his expression, οὐ πολὺς χρόνος, “no
-great length of time,” is sufficiently vague, and he probably
-recollected the change which took place in his youthful days;
-moreover, he speaks only of the elder men of the wealthy classes,
-who would naturally be of conservative tendencies and the last to
-adopt any change in their mode of life or dress. The exact period at
-which the Athenians adopted the Ionic dress is unknown; the Æginetan
-expedition of 568 B.C., of which Herodotus makes use in dating the
-change, is too late, for we know that already in Solon’s days luxury
-in dress had reached such a pitch as to necessitate the passing of a
-sumptuary law to regulate it, and such luxury could hardly have been
-reached so long as the simple Doric dress was retained. It may not
-be unreasonable to assume, then, that constant intercourse with the
-Ionians in the islands on the coast of Asia Minor led the Athenians
-to adopt their dress at some time towards the end of the seventh
-century.

-
-The Ionic chiton differed from the Doric in length, material,
-and method of fastening. We read in Homer already of the Ἰάωνες
-ἑλκεχίτωνες, “long-robed Ionians,” and Pollux tells us of the λινοῦς
-χιτών ὅν Ἀθηναίοι ἐφόρουν ποδήρη, καὶ αὖθις Ἴωνες,[108] “the linen
-tunic which the Athenians wore reaching to the feet, and the Ionians
-too.” This χιτών ποδήρης is a long chiton reaching to the feet; that
-its material was linen is testified by Thucydides and Pollux, as
-well as other writers.[109] The story of Herodotus shows that its
-fastening was different from that of the Doric, since the Athenian
-women were forced to adopt it, ἱνα δὴ περόνῃσι μὴ χρεώνται, “so as
-not to need brooches.” This expression is usually taken to mean that
-the characteristic difference between the Doric and Ionic chitons is,
-that the Doric is fastened by means of pins or brooches, the Ionic
-is always sewn on the shoulders. That this is not invariably the
-case is proved by many examples both in sculpture and vase-painting,
-where a chiton is represented, which, from its length and fulness and
-the fine texture of its material, is clearly Ionic, but which is not
-sewn on the shoulders, but fastened together down the upper arm by a
-series of small round brooches; this fastening forms a kind of loose
-sleeve which reaches frequently to the elbow. It is the formation
-of this sleeve, whether sewn or pinned, which, apart from size or
-material, distinguishes the Ionic from the Doric chiton, which is
-sleeveless. The Ionic chiton in its simplest form is cylindrical in
-shape, and varies considerably in length, but is always longer than
-the height of the wearer; the superfluous length is drawn up through
-the girdle to form a kolpos, which varies in depth according to the
-length of the chiton. The Mænad vase of Hieron gives a good idea of
-the size to which this kolpos sometimes attained.[110] Being made of
-a fine linen material, the Ionic chiton is naturally fuller than the
-coarser woollen Doric garment, and its folds are consequently more
-numerous and more delicate; it is the greater width of the garment
-which necessitates the formation of the sleeve, as a single fastening
-from the shoulder would leave too great a mass of material hanging
-down under the arms. The sleeve is made by joining the two top
-edges of the garment together and gathering them up so as to form
-regular folds; an opening is left in the middle for the neck and one
-at each end for the arms. The arm-holes were probably not formed,
-as some believe, by lateral openings in the side-seams, since this
-method produces a clumsy effect in practice; and moreover, in many
-vase-paintings[111] the ornamental border which runs along the neck
-and upper arm passes also round the arms without being continued down
-the side, which shows that it was embroidered or woven along the top
-edge of the chiton before the sleeves were made.

-
-[Illustration: FIG. 26.]
-
-A diagram will best show how the sleeves were formed, and the
-position of the openings for neck and arms: _ab_ represents the upper
-edge of the chiton, along which a border is frequently woven or
-embroidered; _ef_ represents the space for the neck, through which
-the head is thrust; _ad_ and _bc_ represent the arm-holes, which hang
-down parallel to the wearer’s sides when the arms are held down in a
-normal position; the side-seams _ag_ and _bh_ are sewn along their
-whole length; the distances _de_ _fc_ are joined and gathered to
-form the full sleeve. The fulness is frequently held close to the
-figure by the addition of cross-bands, either crossing both in front
-and behind and attached to the girdle at the sides, or crossing only
-at the back and passing round the front of the shoulders. A very
-excellent sculptured representation of this, the simplest form of
-the Ionic chiton, is to be found in the famous Delphi charioteer,
-where the gathering of the sleeves is very clearly marked.[112] In
-cases where the sleeve is not sewn, the spaces _de_ and _fc_ are
-joined by a series of brooches, varying in number from four to six
-on each side. The fulness is produced by taking up a little group of
-folds at each fastening and leaving the spaces between quite plain;
-the two edges are usually parted in these spaces, so as to show the
-arm through. These groups of folds are perhaps more effective than
-the continuous row of gathers which we get with the sewn sleeve. The
-Euxitheos vase reproduced above[113] will furnish an illustration of
-the chiton with pinned sleeves. A short chiton, with sleeves pinned
-in several places, was frequently worn by men, as is proved by many
-vase-paintings. We sometimes find women represented wearing a full
-chiton without overfold, fastened only once on each shoulder, like
-the Doric dress. This is one of the many modifications which the
-Ionic dress underwent when introduced into the mainland of Greece.
-We frequently find on vases figures in rapid motion wearing the long
-Ionic chiton with many folds, represented by fine close lines,
-in which the lower edge of the chiton in front is drawn up to an
-angle on one or often more places. It was supposed by Böhlau[114]
-that this was meant to indicate that the garment had been cut at the
-bottom in a series of points. The object of this cutting is difficult
-to see, and on examination it will be found that wherever the lower
-edge of the chiton is so drawn up, immediately above it the kolpos
-hangs down deeper over the girdle; the figures are usually in rapid
-motion, and the lower edge of the back of the garment, which shows
-behind the feet, is represented by a continuous curve, without
-being drawn up anywhere.[115] It is obvious, then, that the artist
-intended to indicate that the wearer had drawn the dress up through
-the girdle, so as not to impede progress. Anyone who has ever moved
-about freely wearing a chiton of this kind, will know that unless the
-girdle is uncomfortably tight the dress has a habit of slipping down,
-so that it is necessary to pull it up sometimes, so as to prevent
-treading on it in front.

-
-A feature of the Ionic chiton not very easy to understand is the
-overfold, which occurs very frequently, especially in vase-paintings
-of the severe red-figured class; it is not a normal feature of
-the Ionic chiton, and may very possibly have been added by the
-Athenian women when they adopted the dress, since they had always
-been accustomed to wearing it with the Doric peplos. The view that
-Herodotus (v., 87) is wrong, and that the Athenian women never
-wore the Doric dress at all, is hardly tenable in the face of such
-evidence as the François vase and others like it, which are certainly
-of Attic workmanship.
-
-The Ionic chiton with overfold is really, then, an instance of the
-blending of the two types of dress, which later became so complete
-that it is frequently difficult to decide whether a particular
-garment should more correctly be called Doric or Ionic.
-
-In some instances the overfold of the Ionic chiton is formed
-in exactly the same way as that of the Doric dress, only it is
-frequently shorter: it is turned over before the garment is put on,
-then back and front are fastened together along the arm, either by
-sewing or by brooches. In this latter case the only distinction from
-the Doric dress, in addition to those of size and material, is that
-instead of being pinned only once on each shoulder, and so being
-sleeveless, it is pinned along from shoulder to elbow, so as to form
-sleeves. An example of this is to be seen in a figure of Aphrodite
-from a vase-painting in Paris reproduced by Miss Harrison.[116] This
-style of dress, with the sleeves sewn instead of pinned, is found on
-the first of the so-called Fates of the Parthenon pediment, and on
-one of the Nereids from the Nereid monument, on a torso at Epidaurus,
-and on many vase-paintings. Although not always represented in art,
-shoulder-cords or cross-bands were probably actually worn with this
-dress, as a general rule, since without some such contrivance it
-would slip inconveniently.
-
- [116] _Prolegomena to Greek Religion_, p. 292.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 29.—Vase-painting by Brygos—British Museum.
- _Face page_ 66.]
-
-A type of dress very commonly found on vases is that which has full
-sleeves to the elbow and an overfold covering the chest and back,
-and passing under the arms without covering the sleeves, as was
-the case in the chiton described above. The Mænads on the famous
-Hieron vase are represented wearing this kind of dress, and numerous
-examples could be quoted from other vase-paintings.[117] Some such
-effect might be produced with the ordinary cylindrical-shaped
-chiton with overfold, if shoulder-bands were worn such as those
-worn by the Delphi Charioteer and by one of the so-called Fates of
-the east pediment of the Parthenon; but in actual practice such an
-arrangement would produce a somewhat clumsy mass of folds under
-the arm, and could not be managed at all unless the overfold were
-considerably deeper than that usually represented on the vases. We
-must look, therefore, for some other explanation; and it will not
-be far to seek, if we allow the Ionian women and their Athenian
-imitators a freer use of scissors and needle than their Doric sisters
-were accustomed to make. A close examination of the monuments will
-show that although the sleeve of the Ionic chiton was frequently
-formed in the manner described above, yet in a very large number of
-cases, in almost all of which the overfold is present, the sleeve
-is more like our modern notion of a sleeve—that is to say, it fits
-closer to the arm, as though shaped to some extent, while the rest
-of the garment fits closer to the figure. The vase-painter Brygos
-is fond of depicting women in this kind of dress: the accompanying
-illustration[118] is taken from his representation of Hera and Iris
-pursued by Silenoi. This dress is obviously not composed simply of a
-cylindrical piece of material folded over at the top and fastened on
-the arms, for the rather deep overfold leaves the sleeves quite free,
-and covers only the body of the wearer. This effect could be produced
-in two ways, in both of which, however, the sleeve-pieces must be
-sewn in separately. In the first method, we may suppose that two
-rectangular pieces of material are taken, equal in size and shape,
-represented in the diagram as _abcd_.
-
- [117] Cp. Fig. 29.
-
- [118] Fig. 29.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 30.]
-
-These are sewn together along the sides up to the points _e_ and _f_
-at a distance of about 5 feet from the lower edge; when the dress is
-worn, these points will come immediately under the arms. We may next
-suppose that two rectangular pieces of material measuring about 18
-by 20 inches are taken for the sleeves; these are folded double,
-so that the longer sides lie upon each other, and then sewn on to
-the body of the chiton at the points _f_, _h_, _g_, and _e_, so
-that the fold lies in the position indicated by the lines _fl_ and
-_el′_ in the diagram; the openings _kl_ and _k′l′_ will form the
-arm-holes; that part of the chiton _abgh_ which still extends above
-the sleeve-pieces is then folded over, so that it hangs down in the
-position _gha′b′_. The line _kk′_ now represents the upper edges of
-the garment, which are fastened together (leaving the space _mn_ for
-the neck) either by sewing and gathering or by groups of folds held
-in place by a series of brooches. The front and back part of the
-overfold would then hang down separately, but they could be joined
-together under the arms, provided that the space round the shoulder
-were left free for the arm to pass through into the sleeve.
-
-The second method of making this dress is nothing but a modification
-of the first. It consists of taking two smaller rectangles in the
-first place, _ghcd_, to form the body of the chiton; two pieces
-_abgh_ are sewn on back and front, after the sleeve-pieces, to form a
-sort of false overfold, which will have exactly the same effect as if
-it were in one piece with the rest of the chiton.
-
-It is possible to conceive of the sleeve-pieces being originally in
-one piece with the rest of the chiton, which would then be a dress
-composed of two cross-shaped pieces of material sewn together along
-the edges _dfl_ and _cel′_; it is more reasonable to suppose,
-however, that the sleeve-pieces were sewn on separately. That such
-sleeve-pieces were attached to the ordinary Ionic chiton without
-overfold seems likely from many vase-paintings. The addition of
-sleeves was certainly not unfamiliar to the Greeks, for we find
-slaves wearing a narrow, ungirt chiton, with tight sleeves reaching
-to the wrists. A familiar example of this is to be found in
-Hegeso’s attendant on the well-known grave relief in Athens. In an
-inscription, dating from the middle of the fourth century,[119] and
-recording a large number of garments dedicated to Artemis Brauronia,
-the expression χειριδωτός occurs, which can only mean “sleeved.” In
-the same inscription special mention is frequently made of the fact
-that the chiton, or χιτωνίσκος, is ἐμπλαισίῳ, “oblong,” from which we
-may infer that it was not always so. Now, the ordinary simple Ionic
-chiton would be oblong in shape when not worn, so that we may take
-the others, which are not described as oblong, to be chitons with
-separate sleeve-pieces attached.
-
- [119] _C. I. A._, ii., 754.
-
-The false overfold was sometimes attached also to the simple
-cylindrical Ionic chiton. In these cases it covered the chest only,
-leaving the arms covered only by the sleeves; it was probably simply
-sewn on at the neck in front only. Kalkmann has collected and stated
-the evidence for this false overfold to the chiton in an article
-in the _Jahrbuch_, vol. xi., where he shows that it was sometimes
-applied to the over-garment also. Very clear examples of it are to
-be seen in some of the archaic female statues on the Acropolis at
-Athens, especially in those cases where the himation is worn like a
-shawl over both shoulders.[120]
-
- [120] Nos. 687 and 688.
-
-That the long Ionic chiton with sleeves was worn by men as well as
-women, is abundantly evident from the monuments. On the vases, Zeus
-and Dionysus and other gods are almost invariably represented wearing
-it; and in sculpture also, kings, priests, and others are represented
-so dressed. Together with the himation, it probably constituted a
-sort of state dress for priests and other officials, even after it
-had been discarded for daily use, as being too luxurious.
-
-A short chiton, with or without sleeves, and made of some fine
-material, is to be found on the vases worn by men engaged in active
-pursuits. It sometimes has an overfold; although, with the long
-chiton, this feature is usually confined to women. A good example of
-the men’s short chiton with overfold is to be seen on the vase of
-Brygos representing the exploits of Theseus.
-
-The cross-bands and shoulder-cords already mentioned are, strictly
-speaking, an element of the Ionic chiton, though they are sometimes
-represented in art over the Doric peplos. Their object is to hold the
-ample folds of the full chiton close to the figure, and to prevent
-the sleeves from slipping or flapping about with every movement of
-the wearer. The cross-bands are usually attached to the girdle and
-can be of one piece with it; their place is sometimes taken by a
-second girdle, worn rather high over the kolpos, as is the case with
-the Artemis of Gabii reproduced below (Fig. 37).
-
-This high girdle was known as the ταινία, or ἀποδέσμος, whereas the
-low girdle was called περιζῶμα. A broad band, known as the στρόφιον,
-was sometimes worn by women under the breasts, to serve the purpose
-of modern corsets.[121]
-
- [121] B.M., Vase, E. 230.
-
-A word or two must be said about the diminutives of χιτών—namely,
-χιτώνιον, χιτωνάριον, and χιτωνίσκος. We should naturally expect
-the words to mean a small or short chiton, but this does not seem
-always to be the case. The χιτώνιον and χιτωνάριον are frequently
-described as διαφανές, “transparent,”[122] and Eustathius (iii.,
-1166) explains the words as referring to a fine and luxurious dress
-worn by women. In the inscription to Artemis Brauronia[123] we read
-more than once of a χιτώνιον ἀμοργῖνον—that is, a garment made of
-linen from Amorgos, which we know was very fine and expensive; we
-may infer, then, that the diminutives χιτώνιον and χιτωνάριον refer
-to fineness of material rather than to shortness of cut. The case of
-the χιτωνίσκος is somewhat different; it is not referred to as being
-transparent, and is usually described in the inscription cited above
-as being very ornate. Women are frequently represented on vases[124]
-wearing over the long Ionic chiton a short and sometimes very ornate
-garment, which cannot be described as a himation. Possibly this short
-over-chiton is the garment indicated by the name χιτωνίσκος.[125] A
-similar garment was worn by musicians over the long ungirt chiton
-(ὀρθοστάδιος).[126] Another instance of a special dress worn for a
-special purpose is the costume worn by actors; it had long sleeves,
-and was probably padded to complete the impression of increased size
-produced by the high masks and buskins.

-
-The himation worn over the Ionic chiton presents considerable variety
-of shape and arrangement. In very many cases we find that the Doric
-himation is worn, whether over both shoulders or only over one.
-In the Harpy monument, where we might have looked for Ionic dress
-in its purest form, we find the Doric himation worn over the fine
-linen-sleeved chiton, and on very many of the red-figured vases of
-the severe style this is the case. There is one set of monuments,
-however, which may be considered as Ionic in origin, or at least
-of Ionizing tendencies, where a far less simple garment takes the
-place of the Doric himation. This set includes the archaic female
-statues and flying victories of the Acropolis Museum at Athens, and
-a large number of small painted terra-cotta statuettes in the same
-museum, the sculptures of the Treasury of the Cnidians at Delphi, and
-a number of other statues and reliefs from Athens, Eleusis, Delos,
-and elsewhere. The dress presents a somewhat complicated appearance
-at first sight, and has given rise to a considerable amount of
-discussion. The following section is based upon a careful study of
-the original monuments and of the literature already written on the
-subject.

-
-THE MAIDENS OF THE ACROPOLIS
-
-THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE IONIC HIMATION
-
-
-The problem of the drapery of the archaic female figures in the
-Acropolis Museum has been considered by various archæologists, but
-has not yet been satisfactorily solved in all its details by any of
-them. The questions to be decided are: Firstly, are we to suppose
-that the draperies of the statues give us a faithful and realistic
-reproduction of a costume actually in fashion among the Athenian
-ladies at the close of the sixth century, or must we take into
-account the fact that the work is still archaic and the artists have
-not yet sufficiently mastered their material to be able to reproduce
-exactly what they saw before them? Secondly, what are the separate
-garments which constitute the elaborately complicated whole? And
-thirdly, how are these garments arranged so as to produce the effect
-seen in the statues?
-
-The answer to our first question is to be found in a compromise lying
-somewhere between the two hypotheses suggested. The early artist,
-struggling with the technical difficulties of his art, is always
-ready, as soon as he has solved one problem to his satisfaction,
-to pass on to something which presents still greater difficulties
-and demands the exercise of still greater skill. The makers of the
-Acropolis maidens have advanced so far as to be able to infuse some
-sort of life into their work;—witness the lively expression on some
-of the faces. Moreover, in the modelling of some parts of the human
-figure they have reached a high degree of excellence. In the few
-cases in which the feet of the statues are preserved, a great degree
-of delicacy and refinement is displayed, which shows that the artists
-had attained some considerable power over their material. Having
-advanced so far, they feel themselves equal to facing the problem of
-representing drapery in sculpture. It is not to be supposed that at
-this stage of artistic development they would invent difficulties
-which did not naturally present themselves, nor would they attempt
-to represent anything that they had not actually seen; therefore,
-we must conclude that the Athenian ladies of the period actually
-wore a dress corresponding closely to that reproduced in art. At
-the same time, it must be remembered that the Greek artist in all
-probability did not work with a model constantly before him, so that
-we must expect some slight differences in detail on that account;
-furthermore, we must make some allowance for archaism; for example,
-in all the statues under discussion, the drapery does not fall freely
-away from the figure, but follows the lines of the form beneath in
-a manner impossible in real life.
-

-
-Having determined that the artists have represented a dress which
-was actually worn, we must proceed to consider the character of
-the dress as a whole, and of the parts of which it consisted. In
-giving a general description it will be best to take an example
-which exhibits all, or nearly all, the characteristics that can be
-collected from the various statues. No. 594 will serve our purpose.
-(Perrot and Chipiez, pl. xii.; Lechat, _Au Musée de l’Acropole_, fig.
-16.)[127] The under-garment which appears on the neck and left arm is
-represented by a series of fine wavy lines, running parallel to one
-another, which give a crinkled appearance, and may possibly be meant
-to indicate a material which has undergone some special treatment
-in the making. This garment is finished at the neck and down the
-upper part of the arm by an ornamental border, originally painted,
-but from which the colour has now almost entirely disappeared. The
-lower part of the figure is covered by a very long and ample garment,
-which I shall hope to prove to be the same as that which covers the
-left shoulder and upper arm. This garment is ornamented with a broad
-and elaborate meander pattern down the middle of the front; and if
-the statue were not broken, we should probably see another border
-round the bottom. So far, the costume is comparatively simple; but
-above this under-garment is worn a cloak which passes under the left
-arm and is drawn up to the right shoulder, where it is fastened so
-as to hang in heavy vertical folds down the right-hand side of the
-figure, back and front; in most cases we shall find that the cloak
-is fastened by a series of buttons along the upper part of the arm,
-as far as the curve of the elbow. The example before us now has an
-additional wrap, which conceals the fastening down the right arm. The
-rest of the cloak, passing under the left arm, hangs in a series of
-oblique but almost vertical folds, running parallel to a box-pleat
-which starts from the shoulder. These folds are apparently held in
-place by a band passing under the left arm and fixed on the other
-shoulder. The upper edge of the cloak hangs over this band in a sort
-of little frill with a zigzag edge. The mass of folds lying close to
-the figure under the left arm represents the material which forms the
-sleeve of the chiton. The additional wrap seen in one or two of the
-statues is a very simple matter; it consists of a large scarf worn
-over the shoulders, hanging down to a point on the left-hand side; it
-leaves the left arm uncovered, passes round the back, and over the
-right shoulder. Instead of hanging straight down to a point in the
-right-hand side, the end of the scarf is turned up and thrown over
-the arm. The end is broken away in No. 594, but appears in another
-instance (No. 684, Acropolis Museum; Perrot and Chipiez, fig. 297, p.
-592). Both cloak and scarf are bordered with patterns, of which the
-colour still remains to some extent.

-
-Many theories have been advanced as to the various garments which
-compose the costume. It will be well to give a brief summary of
-them, and to point out wherein they fall short, and, if possible, to
-substitute one that is more satisfactory.
-
-The chief point at issue is whether the skirt part of the drapery
-belongs to the chiton—that is to say, to the garment which appears on
-the neck and left arm—or whether it is part of the cloak which passes
-under the left arm and is fastened on the right shoulder. Collignon
-even distinguishes three garments; he believes that the skirt is
-the chiton proper, and that the crinkled texture of the piece which
-appears above the himation is meant to represent some sort of woollen
-jersey worn over the chiton, which he calls the “chitoniscus.”
-
-The difference in texture comes out very plainly in those cases where
-the himation is worn over the shoulders like a shawl, or where it is
-omitted altogether; for example, in Nos. 670 and 671.[128]
-
- [128] Lechat, figs. 8 and 9; Perrot and Chipiez, 290 and 292.
-
-At first sight it appears as though two separate garments were
-intended, but on close examination it will be found that the curved
-line which terminates the wavy lines of the upper section has not
-the appearance of an edge, but appears rather to turn under and to
-represent a pouch, formed by pulling the garment up through the
-girdle. Moreover, in some cases these parallel wavy lines appear on
-the skirt as well, and cover the whole surface with the exception
-of the mass of folds hanging down the middle of the front. This can
-clearly be seen in No. 687 (Lechat, p. 161), in a small statue of
-the same type from Eleusis, now in the National Museum, Athens, and
-in the relief of the Charites in the Acropolis Museum (Lechat, pl.
-3). Again, the same technique is found sometimes introduced into
-the rendering of the himation. Frequently on the shoulder, when the
-cloak is fastened, a succession of these wavy parallel lines begins
-to appear, then stops suddenly, and the rest of the garment presents
-a smooth surface.[129] There can be no question here of a difference
-of material, nor of a separate piece of drapery, so that we must
-look for some other explanation of the different treatment. Lechat
-has offered one which is satisfactory and which finds confirmation
-in other monuments. He says “the difference in the appearance of the
-upper and lower part of the same garment is due to this: that in the
-lower part, all the superfluous material is gathered together in a
-single mass, and the rest is drawn tightly across the legs; while
-in the upper part, the material, being left free, falls in regular
-folds all round the body.” He further suggests that the regularity of
-the folds may be meant to represent some artificial treatment of the
-dress, such as is applied to the modern _fustanella_. The archaism of
-the work, however, is sufficient to account for this regularity
-in representing a series of very full folds in a fine material held
-in rather closely to the figure. The same kind of treatment appears
-on many of the red-figured vases of the best period. One from a vase
-by Euphronios is reproduced by Kalkmann (_Jahrbuch_, vol. ix.); it
-occurs also on the well-known Troilus vase by the same artist, and
-in numerous other instances (Klein, _Euphronios_, p. 215). Above the
-girdle the folds are represented by fine parallel wavy lines drawn
-very close together below by straight lines. In these cases there is
-no questioning the fact that only one garment is intended, so that
-we may conclude that in the case of the Acropolis statues too, there
-is no need to suppose that the difference in texture represents two
-separate garments of different materials.

-
-It has been suggested that there may be an intention on the part of
-the artist to indicate some kind of material that had a crinkled
-texture, such as that of some of the modern Greek stuffs; but if this
-were so, we might reasonably expect to find the same technique all
-over the garment, and the comparison with the vases shows that the
-supposition is not necessary.
-
-We may conclude, then, that in those cases where the himation is
-omitted altogether, the figure is draped in a single garment, namely,
-the long Ionic chiton described above.
-
-In the case of these statues, the chiton is exceptionally long;
-there is still some material left trailing on the ground after the
-formation of the deep “kolpos,” which necessitates the skirt being
-held up in one hand, so as not to impede walking. We are at once
-reminded of the Ἰάονες Ἑλκεχίτωνες of the Homeric Hymn to Apollo.
-
-We have next to consider those cases—and they are in the
-majority—where another garment is worn over the chiton; and it is on
-this point that archæologists are at variance. Many maintain that the
-chiton only appears on the upper left-hand side of the figure, and
-that a very large cloak is worn over it, which covers the whole of
-the rest of the chiton, and has a deep overfold at the top and trails
-on the ground behind, being held up in front and drawn aside in the
-left hand. Studniczka supports this view, and calls the garment an
-“ionisirende Peplos.” Holwerda, in an article in the _Jahrbuch_ for
-1904, gives some drawings of some practical experiments he has made
-in draping a model in a garment of this kind. He supposes that it
-is cylindrical in shape, with a deep overfold, which is shorter on
-the shoulder than elsewhere, and so produces a zigzag line along its
-lower edge when draped; a girdle is worn underneath the overfold,
-through which the superfluous length left by shortening the overfold
-on the shoulder can be drawn. He supposes that the garment was drawn
-tightly round under the left arm, and that its upper edge formed the
-frill which we see in many of the Acropolis statues. A comparison
-between his finished model and the statue which he reproduces beside
-it serves to show the points wherein his theory falls short; it in
-no way accounts for the vertical folds of the cloak, nor for the
-tight band which appears passing under the left arm and fastened
-on the right shoulder. Amelung, writing in Pauly-Wissowa’s _Real
-Encyclopädie_, and Professor E. A. Gardner, in his _Handbook of
-Greek Sculpture_, maintain that the garment is simply a Doric peplos
-fastened on one shoulder instead of both, and held in place by a
-tight band, under which the width of the peplos is arranged in
-vertical folds. The main objections to this theory are that the Doric
-peplos is invariably fastened in one place only on the shoulder,
-whereas the fastening of the garment in question is continued by a
-series of brooches down as far as the elbow; the result would be to
-leave a very heavy and cumbersome mass of material hanging from the
-right arm, which would seriously impede any active motion. Moreover,
-it leaves out of account a piece of material which appears almost
-invariably in front, below the zigzag edge, where it is drawn up
-highest.[130] Holwerda takes it to be a girdle, but it has not the
-appearance of a girdle; it hangs over the material that falls from
-below it, and does not cut into the soft stuff in the way in which a
-girdle would. That the makers of these statues knew how to represent
-a girdle is plain from No. 679,[131] where the Doric peplos is worn
-over the Ionic chiton. In this case the peplos is considerably
-shorter than the chiton, so that the latter garment is plainly seen
-below the peplos, which only hangs down to a distance somewhat above
-the ankles. The Caryatid of the Cnidian Treasury at Delphi has the
-girdle clearly represented below the box-pleat by two parallel,
-horizontal, incised lines. On the frieze of the same building some
-of the figures are represented wearing the Doric peplos as an
-over-garment; in these cases also it is shorter than the chiton,
-which invariably appears below it at the feet. An archaic statue from
-Rhamnus, in Attica, now in the British Museum, has the crinkly chiton
-showing at the feet, and over it a himation with a deep overfold
-reaching considerably below the waist; in addition to this overfold
-a pleated frill appears over the breast, but no band is visible; the
-frill, however, is deeper than is usually the case in the Acropolis
-statues, and might be intended to conceal a band. This over-dress is
-sewn up at the side, and in that respect resembles the Doric peplos.
-It is significant that in this case, where the garment might with
-more reason be regarded as a Doric peplos let down from one shoulder,
-the chiton is seen appearing below it at the feet, and the over-dress
-does not reach to the ankles. In the few cases where the feet of the
-Acropolis statues are preserved, it will be noticed that the skirt
-is held up fairly high towards one side, so as to display the ankle.
-If a long under-garment were worn, we should expect its lower edge
-to be seen here; but in no instance is that the case, so that we
-may conclude that the skirt itself is the under-garment. Those who
-maintain that the skirt belongs to the upper garment support their
-opinion by the fact that very frequently the ornamentation on the
-two different parts is the same; the natural colour of the marble is
-left as a ground, and the decoration consists of coloured borders and
-patterns dotted somewhat sparsely over the surface. The part of the
-dress which appears on the left shoulder is frequently painted all
-over, and we might have expected that if the skirt belonged to the
-same garment it would also be painted all over. But before accepting
-this argument as conclusive, it will be well to consider the nature
-and purpose of polychromy as applied to Greek sculpture.

-
-In the early days when inferior materials were used for sculpture,
-colour was applied to them to conceal the poverty of the stone and
-to produce a more pleasing surface than that offered by the rough
-material at the artist’s disposal. These coarser materials were not
-capable of such careful finish, or of producing such a lively play
-of light and shade, as the marbles later used, and the only way to
-give them animation was by the application of colour all over the
-surface. It became, therefore, a regular practice for early Greek
-sculptors to paint their statues. When, however, they began to use
-more beautiful materials, such as marble, they recognised that it
-was a pity to conceal its texture by the extensive application of
-colour. They therefore adopted the practice of submitting the surface
-of the marble to a process of polishing, and adding colour only in
-parts, the effect being that the beauty of the marble is enhanced
-by the contrast between its polished surface and the coloured parts
-of the statue. The range of colours used is somewhat limited and
-conventional. For example, in the early pediment groups from the
-Acropolis, we find red used for human flesh; and the colours used
-in the draperies of the Acropolis female statues are limited to
-red and blue. Both eyes and hair are invariably red. We may infer,
-therefore, that colour was not added with a view to reproducing
-nature faithfully, but simply to decorate the statues. If, therefore,
-the artist felt that a white surface of marble with a few patterns
-sprinkled over it produced a more pleasing effect than a surface
-coloured all over, he would use this method of decorating his work,
-even if it were not realistic; and he would prefer to treat large
-surfaces of drapery in this way, rather than colour them all over.
-When, therefore, in these statues, we find that the small surface of
-the chiton which appears on the upper part of the figure is coloured
-all over, we need not conclude that the skirt belongs to another
-garment because it is differently ornamented; had so large a surface
-been painted all over, the effect would have been far less pleasing.
-The difference in the decoration of different parts of the same
-garment need in no way surprise us; it occurs very frequently in the
-black-figured vases, where we get purple used for the upper part of a
-garment and black for the lower, simply with the object of producing
-variety. The argument from the application of coloured ornament will
-not help us, then, in this case, especially when we find that it can
-be used to support either view. Professor Baldwin Brown has pointed
-out that some terra-cotta figures[132] in the Acropolis Museum,
-which are draped in the same style as the archaic statues, have the
-under-garment covering the shoulder and the skirt painted in one
-colour, and the part which passes round the figure under the left arm
-in another, and he uses this fact as a piece of evidence to show that
-the skirt is part of the chiton and the rest a separate garment.[133]
-It will be safer, therefore, in considering the different garments
-which constitute the dress, to leave the question of colour out of
-account altogether, and to base our arguments only on their form.
-Many who maintain that the skirt is part of the chiton, are of the
-opinion that the upper garment is the ordinary himation with a small
-overfold, fastened on the shoulder and down the arm. Lechat supposes
-that the upper edge is taken up and drawn from beneath and folded
-over on itself, so as to form a sort of thick pad at the top, and he
-suggests that the pleats were folded before the cloak was put on,
-and perhaps even ironed; but this arrangement would not produce the
-vertical folds which we find in almost all the statues.
-
- [132] Cp. _Jahrbuch_, 1893; Arch. Anz., H. 519; Winter.
-
- [133] Another possibility which suggests itself is that the
- sculptor may not have painted the statue himself, but may have
- handed it over to a painter who did not understand how the
- drapery was constituted.
-
-Kalkmann[134] calls the garment a “stilisirte himation,” and suggests
-that the vertical lines are continued round the figure because the
-artist had great difficulty in representing the transition between
-the vertical folds which hang down from the arm and the horizontal
-ones of the overfold. This explanation, however, does not account
-for the frill-like edge which appears at the top of the himation.
-Professor Baldwin Brown[135] has published some good photographs of a
-model draped in this Ionian himation, but has not given a very full
-or satisfactory explanation of how the effect was produced. He says
-that the secret of the dress is that “the upper edge of it, with all
-the folds, is tightly rolled over so that it is shortened in the
-front, while at the same time the folds are kept in their places.”
-He admits that the folds will only keep in place on a “motionless
-wearer of imperturbable patience,” and therefore supposes that the
-dress was evolved for use on the wooden xoana. It seems unlikely that
-a special dress of such an elaborate nature should have been evolved
-to drape these early wooden images, and there is no reason to suppose
-that the series of Acropolis statues are merely reproductions of
-such images. They appear much rather to represent the grand Athenian
-ladies who dedicated themselves symbolically to their patron goddess
-by setting up statues of themselves in her honour. Since the statues
-were probably intended to be set up permanently in a conspicuous
-place, it is natural that the votaries would like to see themselves
-appearing in their best clothes.

-
- [135] _How Greek Women Dressed._
-
-A careful study of the statues themselves and a consideration of all
-the evidence bearing on the question leads to the conclusion that
-the complete costume consists of two garments, a long under-dress,
-which may be regarded as the usual indoor costume of the Athenian
-ladies of the sixth century, and a mantle worn over it for out
-of doors; occasionally a scarf or shawl is worn as well over the
-mantle, perhaps for additional warmth, perhaps only for ornament.
-The under-dress consists of the long linen Ionic chiton, a wide
-cylindrical garment fastened by brooches or sewn down both arms
-so as to form sleeves; a girdle is worn round the waist, and the
-superfluous length of the material is drawn up over this girdle so
-as to form a deep pouch; sometimes this pouch is worn all round the
-figure, sometimes, as is apparently the case in a large seated figure
-of Athena, the pouch is formed only in front. On some occasions[136]
-we find that the chiton, in addition to the pouch, has an overfold
-from the neck resembling the ἀπόπτυγμα of the Doric peplos. This
-overfold sometimes only covers the chest and sometimes hangs down
-considerably lower. Such an overfold is very frequently found on
-vases; in some cases its material may be of one piece with that of
-the rest of the chiton, as it appears on one of the Nereids from the
-so-called Nereid monument; but in those many cases where it only
-appears between the shoulders and does not extend also along the
-arms, it is quite possible that it may be a separate piece of stuff
-sewn on to the chiton at the neck. It is probably the edge of such
-an overfold that appears at the waist below the himation on the
-Acropolis statues; no other satisfactory explanation of this detail
-of the costume has at present been suggested. It is unlikely that
-it represents the “kolpos,” because in all cases, with one possible
-exception (No. 676; Lechat, fig. 29), a border is painted on it,
-indicating that it is an edge and not a pouch. It has been suggested
-that this overfold was sometimes made of a different kind of material
-from the chiton on to which it was sewn, and that this material was a
-silk or linen of a crinkled texture, indicated by the wavy parallel
-lines which appear on the statues. The fact that this treatment
-appears sometimes also on the skirt and on the upper part of the
-mantle, diminishes the probability of this hypothesis, and makes it
-appear more likely that this kind of technique was simply used to
-represent very full folds in a fine material. Such a treatment may
-have been suggested to the artist by familiarity with some material
-of a crinkled texture, such as that used for sheets and table-cloths
-in some Greek villages to-day.
-
- [136] _E.g._, Lechat, fig. 12.
-
-With regard to the ornamental patterns which adorn the chiton, we
-find borders at the feet and at the edge of the overfold, also strips
-of ornamentation running round the neck and along the arms and round
-the arm-holes, and almost invariably a broad band running vertically
-down the front of the lower part of the chiton. In addition to
-these strips and borders we also get stars or small floral designs
-scattered over the whole garment. The bands which appear at the
-edges are easy to understand; they were either woven in the material
-of which they were made, or, more probably, embroidered on to it
-afterwards; but in those cases where the overfold is worn and a
-pattern appears at its edge and also along the neck and arms, we must
-suppose that this latter was applied after the sleeves were formed
-and the overfold attached. Possibly, also, the vertical band on the
-lower part of the chiton represents a separate strip of embroidery
-sewn on to the garment. The Greek women probably occupied a large
-proportion of their time in embroidery; and since a good piece of
-embroidery lasts for very many years, it is quite possible that when
-the original garment was worn out, they may have cut off the strip
-of still good work, and sewn it on to a new dress. The only other
-explanation of the numerous patterns which appear on the statues, is
-that the artist simply applied ornamentation wherever it pleased his
-fancy to do so; this is less satisfactory than to suppose that he was
-representing something which he actually saw.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 33.]
-
-Turning to the himation or mantle worn over the chiton, the simplest
-method of producing the effect seen in the Acropolis statues was
-found by experiment to be by taking a piece of material between 5
-and 6 yards long and about 18 or 20 inches wide. This was folded
-double, as in the diagram at the point _a_, so that the points _b_
-and _b′_ met. Then at the points _c_ and _c′_, at equal distances
-from the corners, and cutting off at little less than one-third of
-the wide length of the stuff, the two upper edges were fastened
-together on the model’s right shoulder, a few pleats or gathers being
-taken in the material on each side. A series of such fastenings was
-made along the upper arm, as far as the points _d_ and _d′_, which
-reached to the model’s elbow; the rest of the stuff, as far as the
-points _b_ and _b′_, was allowed to hang down from the elbow. The
-part of the material _c_ to _c′_ passed under the left arm and was
-arranged in a series of regular oblique folds running parallel to
-the box-pleat, which formed itself naturally at the first fastening
-on the shoulder—that is to say, at the points _c_ and _c′_; these
-folds were held in place by a band passing under the left breast,
-drawn rather tightly round the figure and secured firmly on the right
-shoulder. In order to make the lower edge of the cloak rise in the
-middle, as it does invariably in the statues, it was found necessary
-to draw the folds up over the band and let the upper edge fall over,
-forming a kind of frill. The frill, however, hung down too low, and
-it was this fact that suggested cutting the upper edge of the
-cloak out in a curve, or rather in two curves, one at the back and
-one at the front, leaving the part under the left arm longer than
-that in front and behind. When these curves were cut out and the
-garment once more arranged in its pleats, the little frill-like edge
-hung of itself over the band, just in the way in which it appears in
-some of the statues. The band alone held the folds fairly well in
-place; but in order to prevent the possibility of their slipping, the
-Athenian ladies probably had them stitched on to the band. It would
-be quite easy to slip the garment on and off over the head without
-even unfastening it on the shoulder.[137]
-
- [137] Figs. 34, _a_ and _b_, are photographs of a model draped in
- this manner.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 34.—Drapery in the Style of the Archaic Statues
-in the Acropolis Museum, Athens.
- _Face page_ 91.]
-
-The variations in detail which appear in the different statues can
-easily be produced by arranging the folds in a slightly different
-fashion. In some cases, as for example in No. 674 (Lechat, pl. 1),
-the folds hang quite upright instead of obliquely, and the box-pleat
-appears in the middle instead of hanging from the shoulder; this can
-easily be produced by turning the folds first in one direction and
-then in the opposite. The folds of the frill sometimes hang in the
-opposite direction to those of the main part of the mantle; this is
-simply a mistake on the part of the artist. Occasionally the frill
-does not appear at all, for example in No. 686 (Lechat, fig. 37), but
-the cloak hangs straight down from the broad band. In this instance
-we must suppose that the overhanging mass of material has been cut
-away entirely before the folds were attached to the band.
-
-Sometimes the two ends were sewn together along the lines _be_ and
-_b′e′_, and in this case the last fastening, indicated by the letters
-_d_ and _d′_, approached nearer to the points _b_ and _b′_, so as to
-leave an opening only sufficient for the arm to pass through.
-
-The detail of the cloak which presents most variety is the little
-frill-like edge which falls over the band. Sometimes it appears to be
-a natural continuation of the vertical folds which hang down below
-it, and it falls over the band so as almost to hide it; sometimes
-it is shorter, and reveals the band and forms a sort of leaf-like
-pattern above it; in other cases it disappears entirely. Its most
-realistic representation is in one of the Victories in the Acropolis
-Museum, where the corners _c_ and _c′_, formed by cutting the curves,
-are actually indicated on the shoulder, and the frill lies in an
-irregular zigzag, almost exactly as it was found to fall in practice.
-
-In two cases in the Acropolis Museum at Athens, and in a statue at
-Delphi, the band does not pass under the arm, but from shoulder
-to shoulder, and the cloak covers both arms symmetrically, being
-fastened down both alike with a series of brooches. In these cases
-the box-pleat falls in the middle, and the curve must necessarily
-have been considerably smaller, since the upper edge lies much higher
-up towards the neck. When the cloak was worn in this way, it was
-probably sewn up down both sides, and the curves for the neck,
-back and front, were naturally equidistant from the two side-seams.
-The openings for the arms would come at the ends of the top edge, as
-in the case of the Ionic chiton.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 35.—Vase-painting—British Museum.
- _Face page_ 93.]
-
-The style of dress represented by this set of monuments is certainly
-the most luxurious which we find in Greek art at any period. Now the
-date of the Acropolis maidens can be fixed at some period certainly
-not later than the last quarter of the sixth century. Solon’s
-sumptuary law regulating women’s dress must have been enacted during
-the first years of the sixth century, so that we may conclude that
-these dainty ladies with their chitons, cloaks, and scarfs represent
-the height of luxury in dress which was possible after the passing of
-that law: their self-satisfied smile seems to be inviting approval of
-the degree of elegance to which their ingenuity could attain, even
-though a stern law-giver had limited the number of their garments to
-three.
-
-This style of dress seems to have passed out of fashion at the end of
-the sixth century, or in the early years of the fifth, for we find it
-only in the early works of sculpture already mentioned. An attempt to
-render it is frequently made by the artists of the early red-figured
-vases—sometimes with some success; but more often the attempt results
-in a confusion between this somewhat elaborate style of cloak and
-the simpler development which it took later. Fig. 35 shows a fairly
-successful attempt to represent the dress. Here we have the band
-passing round the right shoulder and the vertical folds falling from
-it, but the frill and the fastening down the right arm are omitted.
-Possibly they taxed the artist’s skill too greatly; possibly the
-style had already passed out of fashion in real life. But he would
-be moderately familiar with the maidens on the Acropolis, although
-perhaps not sufficiently so to be able to reproduce their costume
-in detail. Working daily in his little shop down below in the
-Cerameicus, perhaps he did not very frequently mount the citadel,
-where he might study the art treasures that adorned it. Possibly
-even the vase is not earlier than 480 B.C., and the picture is but a
-reminiscence of the statues that the artist had seen on the Acropolis
-previous to their burial at the coming of the Persians. Very often on
-the vases we find the vertical folds represented falling from beneath
-a series of horizontal folds obviously formed by turning over the
-top of the cloak before fastening it on the shoulder. Here the band
-and fastening down the arm are omitted.[138] The place of the frill
-is taken by an overfold of the cloak before it is put on, and it is
-fastened by a single brooch on the shoulder; the material is allowed
-to hang in natural folds, and the necessity of cutting a curve in
-the upper edge is obviated by the fact that no band is worn, and the
-stuff is not arranged in artificial vertical folds. This style of
-cloak appears already on the figure of Apollo, on the relief from
-Thasos in the Louvre; it is seen most clearly in the Artemis
-of Gabii.[139] It was probably developed from the earlier and more
-elaborate form of cloak by gradual stages, first by omitting the
-artificial folds and the band which held them in place, and then by
-omitting the numerous fastenings on the arm. This would necessitate
-an alteration in the shape of the cloak; it would naturally become
-more square. Kalkmann, in the article already referred to, fig. 17,
-represents an intermediate stage in this development, where a large
-cloak is worn without band or frill, and is fastened by a series of
-several brooches down one arm. Were it not for this representation
-of the transition stage, we might be inclined to class the cloak of
-the Artemis of Gabii as a development of the Doric peplos, which it
-resembles in having an overfold and being fastened by a single large
-brooch on the shoulder; and indeed these two elements are probably
-due to the influence of the Doric dress, and we should therefore,
-perhaps, more rightly call the final form of the cloak a blending of
-the two styles rather than a development of either the one or the
-other.

-
-As early as the beginning of the fifth century we find the two styles
-becoming confused and mingled together. The Doric peplos is worn as
-an over-dress over the Ionic chiton, even by one of the “Maidens”
-of the Acropolis, and later on the commonest form of outdoor dress
-for women was the Ionic chiton with the Doric himation over it. This
-combination appears in the so-called Fates of the Parthenon pediment.
-Frequently we find this blending of the two styles in a single
-garment; we find also on vases the overgirt Doric peplos with sleeves
-formed by a number of brooches;[140] and again, with cross-bands,
-which belong properly to the Ionic chiton.[141] Some authorities,
-pinning their faith entirely to Herodotus, consider that the brooch
-is an element which belongs strictly only to the Doric dress; they
-therefore regard the chiton with pinned sleeves as a mixture of the
-two. An over-garment not very simple in form, which can be regarded
-as neither Doric nor Ionic, but a mixture of both, is illustrated by
-Fig. 38. Kalkmann regards it as a number of overfolds or flounces
-sewn separately on to the chiton. It seems more reasonable, however,
-to regard the part of the dress which appears on the arms and at
-the feet, and which is made of a plain material, as the chiton,
-and the rest which is ornamented with a pattern, as a separate
-over-garment. This garment has three edges, at the waist, hips, and
-ankles, so that it is obviously not merely an ordinary rectangular
-himation, nor a simple Doric peplos with overfold. It seems simplest
-to explain it as a Doric peplos with deep overfold, ungirt, having a
-short false overfold to the waist sewn on over the real one at the
-neck. Such over-garments never occur in sculpture and only rarely
-on the vases, and may possibly be an error or invention on the part
-of the vase-painter; if commonly worn, they would probably be more
-frequently represented in art.

-MATERIALS AND ORNAMENTATION
-
-
-The fabrics in use for Greek dresses presented considerable variety.
-The commonest materials were naturally woollen, but linen and silk
-were used for more luxurious garments, and a kind of leather jerkin
-known as διφθέρα[142] was sometimes worn by peasants.
-
- [142] Aristophanes, _The Clouds_, 72; Plato, _Crito_, 53 D.
-
-That the woollen materials used themselves varied considerably in
-texture, is proved by some fragments actually found in a tomb at
-Kertch in the Crimea, and published in the _Comptes rendus_ in 1878.
-These date for the most part from the fourth century B.C., but one
-at least probably goes back to the fifth century. They are in most
-cases rather loosely woven, so that the separate threads are clearly
-visible, and a bright object could be seen through the material.
-The oldest piece is composed of such fine threads that it is almost
-transparent; other pieces have a texture not unlike that of woollen
-crêpe. A somewhat coarser piece, the threads of which are very
-strong, has a portion of a seam remaining, which is oversewn with
-strong woollen thread. In addition to very finely woven woollen
-materials, the more luxurious of the Greeks wore also many varieties
-of linen, and in some cases even silk. Pollux tells us that the
-long linen chiton was worn by the Athenians and Ionians, and many
-references are to be found in ancient literature to different kinds
-of linen, coming from places usually in Asia or the more easterly of
-the Ægean islands. Of these the most commonly mentioned are ἀμόργινα,
-garments made of linen from the flax of Amorgos, and βύσσινα,
-made of βύσσος, a yellowish kind of flax, coming especially from
-India and Egypt. We learn from Aristophanes[143] that the χιτώνιον
-ἀμόργινον was transparent, so that we may conclude that the linen
-from which it was made was very fine indeed; perhaps it resembled
-a very fine cambric. That βύσσος was a linen of some kind, we are
-told by Pausanias,[144] and Pollux gives us the information that
-it came from India. That it was known in Egypt also, is testified
-by Herodotus,[145] who tells us of its use for mummy-cloths. It
-was probably rather a mark of luxury when worn by the Greeks, for
-Simætha[146] tells us that she wore a χιτών of it when going out on a
-festive occasion.

-
-Of materials which come under the heading of silk, three kinds were
-known to the ancients. We read in Latin authors of _vestes coæ_,
-_bombycinæ_, and _sericæ_, and these were also known to the Greeks.
-Aristotle[147] is the first of the ancient writers who tells us
-anything of the production of silk. After describing the various
-changes undergone by the worm before becoming a moth, he gives us the
-following information:—
-
- Ἐκ δὲ τούτου τοῦ ζῴου καὶ τὰ βουβύκια ἀναλύουσι τῶν
- γυναικῶν τινές ἀναπηνιζόμεναι, κἄπειτα ὑφαίνουσιν· πρώτη δὲ
- λέγεται ὑφῆναι ἐν Κῷ Παμφίλη Πλάτεω θυγάτηρ.
-
-“Some women undo the cocoons of this creature, winding off the
-silk, and then weave it; and Pamphile, daughter of Plateus, is said
-to have been the first to weave it in Cos.” This implies that the
-manufacture of silk was carried on in Cos, but no information is
-given as to whether the worm was reared in that island or whether
-the raw silk was imported. Pliny[148] tells us more on the subject;
-he seems to distinguish the three kinds of silk mentioned above. Of
-these three, only “sericum” is, strictly speaking, silk—that is to
-say, a material made by unwinding the cocoon of the silkworm reared
-on the mulberry tree. This worm is first mentioned by Pausanias.[149]
-It was the Chinese who discovered this method of procuring the silk,
-and it was apparently unknown to the Greeks and Romans. The “coa” and
-“bombycina” were procured by piercing and carding the cocoon instead
-of unwinding them entire; the result was a substance coarser and less
-brilliant than silk. Pliny draws a distinction between “coa” and
-“bombycina,” telling us that the latter was a product of Assyria and
-came from the ordinary mulberry worm, whereas the worm from which
-coan silk was procured was reared on other trees, notably the oak,
-ash, and cypress.[150]

- Smith, _Dictionary of Antiquities_, _s.v._ “sericum”; Yates,
- _Textrinum Antiquorum_, pp. 160 f.; Pariset, _Histoire de la
- Soie_, Part I., chap. i.
-
-_Coæ vestes_ are frequently mentioned by the Latin poets, chiefly
-Horace, Tibullus, and Propertius, and from them we learn that
-they were chiefly worn by _Hetairæ_ and were of a transparent
-texture;[151] sometimes they were purple and had gold threads
-interwoven or embroidered.[152] One piece of silk was found amongst
-other materials at Kertch. In colour it is a bronze-gold, and is
-woven in a lozenge pattern.

-
-If Greek dress lacked variety of cut and material, the deficiency
-was to some extent made up by considerable gaiety of colour and
-ornamentation. Probably none but slaves and artisans would wear
-garments of one colour without pattern or ornamentation of any kind,
-and even they would sometimes have their dresses adorned with a
-simple border, such as a broad stripe. From the numerous references
-scattered up and down through extant literature, it appears that the
-favourite colours were purple, red, and yellow. Pollux[153] gives
-us a list of the colours most commonly used. This list includes
-green (βατραχίς) and gray (κίλλιον, ὀνάγρινον), in addition to those
-mentioned above, but strangely enough no mention is made of blue. The
-word κυάνεος, “dark blue,” is seldom if ever applied to garments,
-yet it is scarcely likely that the colour was unknown to the Greeks.
-Possibly some shades described as πορφύρεος approached a violet,
-or blue, as distinguished from ἁλοῦργος, “true purple.” For red we
-find the word φοινίκεος, “dark red,” used especially of the military
-cloak of the Lacedæmonians,[154] and κοκκοβαφής, “scarlet”; for
-yellow κροκωτός and θάψινος. Βατραχίς, “frog-coloured,” is the word
-applied to a green garment, and this is probably the colour described
-as ὀμφάνικος, “like unripe grapes.” Pollux[155] tells us that for
-mourning the Greeks wore φαιὸν καὶ μέλαν ἀλλήλοις ἔγγυς, “gray and
-black, very like each other.” From this we learn that φαιός was a
-very dark colour, probably gray or dun.

-
-The ornamentation applied to dress by the Greeks was very varied in
-character; it is comparatively rare to find on Greek vases a dress
-that is entirely free from decorations, and the patterns represented
-are very numerous. Sometimes the ornament consists of a simple
-border, often of a pattern distributed all over the dress, and these
-designs are frequently of a very elaborate character, including
-animal and even human forms. In sculpture, too, this feature was
-not neglected; the maidens of the Acropolis at Athens all have some
-pattern on their draperies added in colour, and one of them has no
-less than seven different designs distributed over her costume. We
-know that the himation of the Olympian Zeus by Pheidias was richly
-decorated, and the fragment from Damophon’s great group at Lycosura
-will serve as a later example of sculptured drapery highly ornamented
-with patterns in relief. This has not only geometric and floral
-designs as borders, but the whole surface is covered with fantastic
-dancing figures of human and hybrid forms.
-
-References in literature are not very frequent; the most noteworthy
-occurs in the _Iliad_,[156] where Helen is described as working at a
-great loom:
-
- ἣ δὲ μέγαν ἱστὸν ὕφαινεν
- δίπλακα πορφυρέην, πολέας δ᾽ ἐνέπασσεν ἀέθλους
- Τρώων θ᾽ ἱπποδάμων καὶ Ἀχαιῶν χαλκοχιτώνων.
-
-“She was weaving a great purple web of double fold, and over it she
-spread many battles of horse-taming Trojans and bronze-clad Achæans.”
-
- [156] iii., 125.
-
-The epithet ποικίλος, applied to dress, undoubtedly means “richly
-decorated,” and the ἀνθινά, “flowered garments,” frequently mentioned
-in inscriptions, presumably refers to garments ornamented with floral
-designs. In connection with the passage in Homer, the question has
-been raised as to whether these complex designs were woven into the
-material or embroidered afterwards. It seems hardly likely that they
-were woven in, unless the work were a heavy tapestry, such as would
-hardly be suitable for a costume; moreover, the word ἐμπάσσω means
-“to sprinkle on,” and is more easily applicable to the distribution
-of a design over a piece of material already woven than to the
-formation of a pattern in the course of the weaving. The words μέγαν,
-ἱστὸν, and ὔφαινεν would still be applicable, because when the
-garment was at this stage, it would still be regarded as incomplete,
-and the designs, however applied, would probably be at least sketched
-out while it was still on the loom.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 39.—Fragments of a Sarcophagus Cover from Kertch.
- _Face page_ 103.]
-
-Among the fragments of materials found at Kertch were some which
-were embroidered, others which had simple geometrical designs woven
-into the borders; in addition to these there were some considerable
-fragments of a large sarcophagus cover, the ornamentation of which is
-strongly reminiscent of Greek vase-painting of the fourth century.
-The ground is black and is covered with designs in red and light
-terra-cotta; the ornamentation is divided into bands, and consists of
-battle scenes with chariots, and birds and beasts scattered about the
-field of the design; the bands are separated by different patterns,
-many of which are frequently met with on vases. These include the egg
-and dart pattern, ivy and laurel wreaths, large palmettes, and many
-others.[157] Names are inscribed against some of the figures, among
-others ΝΙΚΗ, ΑΘΗΝΑΙΗ ΙΟΚΑΣΤΗ, (Ι)ΓΓΟΜΕΔΩΝ, etc.
-
- [157] Figs. 39 and 41 _a_ and _b_.
-
-These designs are not embroidered, nor are they produced in the
-course of weaving the cloth; they are apparently drawn out by means
-of some pigment applied after the material was woven. Herodotus
-tells us[158] that the people of the Caucasus used to paint animals
-on their clothes with some vegetable pigment which they mixed with
-water. Some such procedure, then, must have been practised by the
-Greeks of the fourth century, which is the date assignable to the
-fragment in question, on the evidence of the inscriptions.
-
- [158] I., 203.
-
-The designs applied to Greek dresses presented abundant variety, as
-is evidenced by extant monuments, especially by the vases; they may
-be roughly classed as geometric, floral, and those containing animal
-and human forms. Of the geometric designs some are rectilinear,
-others curvilinear. The favourite rectilinear borders are broad
-lines, parallel rows of zigzag lines, the mæander or key pattern
-in very many forms varying from the simple running mæander to a
-complicated double fret, broken at intervals by stars or chequers.
-In addition to these borders we frequently find a chequer pattern
-covering the whole surface of a garment. A kind of net pattern,
-often seen on vases, was very probably used in dresses also. Of
-the curvilinear designs the most common are the “guilloche” or
-plait-band, the simple spiral, and the κυμάτιον or wave pattern. On
-the black-figured vases a kind of scale pattern frequently occurs
-covering a wide surface.
-
-A very great variety of floral designs was used by the Greeks for
-ornamentation of all kinds; they are very frequent as part of the
-scheme of decoration of vases, especially of those of Ionic origin.
-A favourite pattern is a simple laurel wreath like that depicted
-in Fig. 39; the ivy also forms the basis of more than design.
-Sometimes it takes the form of a row of leaves on either side of a
-straight line; more often the leaves alternate with tendrils and
-berries. By far the commonest and the most beautiful of floral
-designs are those made up of lotus buds and flowers and palmettes.
-Sometimes we find the lotus alone forming the motive of the design,
-sometimes it alternates with palmettes. A very graceful pattern is
-composed of oblique palmettes turned in opposite directions and
-connected by spirals.[159] That these designs so commonly used for
-the decoration of pottery were employed also in the textile arts is
-proved by some of the fragments found at Kertch. Quite considerable
-remains were found of a piece of woollen material elaborately
-embroidered with a large floral design (Fig. 40), the main motive
-of which is a graceful palmette, from the base of which spring
-spirals terminating in heart-shaped leaves and flowers. The design is
-executed in gold and green on a violet ground.[160]

- Ancient Pottery_, ii., 209-235; Riegl, _Stilfragen_.

-

-
-Animal and human forms are naturally less common than geometric and
-floral designs. Mention has already been made of the wonderful diplax
-woven by Helen, in which she represented scenes of battle between
-Trojans and Achæans. In art we find that goddesses are frequently
-depicted wearing garments covered with elaborate ornamentation
-of this kind. The François vase will afford several examples,
-and in later art the dress of Demeter on the Triptolemus vase by
-Hieron,[161] and the sculptured drapery from Damophon’s group at
-Lycosura, may be quoted. That mortals also indulged in such luxurious
-ornamentation is proved again by the Kertch fragments. One of the
-most charming pieces found there had a very naturalistic design of
-ducks embroidered in gold and green on a dark-brown ground (Fig. 41
-_c_); another piece had a figure of an Amazon riding on horseback;
-and mention has already been made of the sarcophagus cloth covered
-with battle scenes.

-
-HAIR AND HEAD-DRESS
-
-
-The manner of wearing the hair seems to have varied considerably at
-different periods, both for men and women. In pre-Hellenic times it
-was, for the most part, if not invariably, allowed to grow long.
-On the frescoes from Knossos we find the cupbearer and other male
-figures represented wearing their hair in long, wavy tresses reaching
-to the waist or thereabouts. On Mycenæan gems and rings, where
-warriors are represented wearing helmets, the hair is frequently
-concealed, so that it is impossible to determine whether it was worn
-short or bound up in some manner, so as to be out of the way. The
-ivory statuettes of athletes from Knossos have long hair,[162] so
-that in all probability that was the prevailing fashion among men in
-Crete. Among women in pre-Hellenic times, the fashion was to wear the
-hair long; the snake goddess and her votary have hair that reaches
-far past the waist, and in almost all extant art of the period the
-hair of the women is represented as being abundant. It is frequently
-worn in long tresses down the back (compare the dancing girl, Fig.
-4) and arranged rather elaborately in front in curls, which sometimes
-suggest artificial treatment; sometimes the hair is done up at the
-back or top of the head, in modern fashion.
-
- [162] See _British School Annual_, 1901-2, VIII., 72, fig. 37.
-
-In the Homeric poems we read of the “long-haired Achæans,”[163] so
-that the sight of men with long hair was obviously familiar to the
-poet. From the passage which describes Andromache’s swoon,[164]
-however, it is clear that the women of the poet’s day bound their
-hair up, using nets and kerchiefs and other appurtenances both useful
-and ornamental.

-
-[Illustration: FIG. 42.—Men’s Head-dress—Archaic.
- _Face page_ 108.]
-
-Coming down to historic times, we find that before the Persian
-wars both men and women wore their hair long. After the middle of
-the fifth century a change took place, the men cutting their hair
-short for the most part, the women binding it up. The story of the
-Lacedæmonians combing their long hair when the Persians were close
-upon them is familiar (Herodotus, VII., 208). Extant monuments show
-us that before the Persian wars the men adopted various methods of
-disposing of their long hair: sometimes we see it worn loose with a
-simple fillet tied round the head;[165] sometimes the long ends are
-turned up and tucked in under the fillet;[166] sometimes they are
-turned up and held together by an additional band. This is the case
-with a bronze head from Olympia,[167] where, however, some locks
-seem to have been left free on the neck. A relief in Athens,
-representing a Discobolus holding the “discus” behind his head,[168]
-shows the hair probably divided and twisted together in two coils
-fastened tightly at a little distance from the end by a ribbon, or
-possibly by a metal spiral.[169] The golden τέττιξ mentioned by
-Thucydides (I., 6) was obviously some kind of ornament inserted
-in the hair to hold the “chignon” in place. It has been shown by
-Helbig[170] that this was probably a metal spiral or series of rings
-used to bind together the ends of the long hair; such a style is
-frequently represented in the art of the end of the sixth century and
-beginning of the fifth. The bands represented in Fig. 42 (_c_) are
-possibly intended for such metal rings. Helbig’s view is supported
-and confirmed by Studniczka.[171]

- possibly dressed in this fashion.

- pp. 284-291.
-
-Probably the knot of hair bound up on the nape of the neck, as in
-the above examples, represents the κρωβύλος or κόρυμβος mentioned
-in Thucydides and elsewhere in literature. In later times this name
-was applied to the knot of hair on the top of the head which occurs
-so frequently in statues of Apollo; but there is no evidence to show
-that it was worn in this position before the fourth century at the
-earliest.
-
-A style very commonly exemplified by extant statues of Apollo, dating
-from the early part of the fifth century, is to tie a fillet round
-the head and roll the long hair tightly over it, tucking the ends
-in usually behind the ears.[172] These ends are, however, sometimes
-allowed to hang down on the neck. Athletes very frequently disposed
-of their long hair by braiding it into two plaits from behind; these
-they crossed or brought round the head, fastening the two ends
-together in front.[173] Sometimes the short hair in front was combed
-down over the plaits, so as to conceal their union.
-
- [172] Fig. 43 (_a_).
-
- [173] Fig. 43 (_b_). It is interesting to note that little
- Athenian schoolgirls of to-day wear their hair in this fashion.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 43.—(_a_) Head of Apollo from the Temple of Zeus,
-at Olympia. (_b_) Head of an Athlete—Athens Acropolis Museum.
- _Face page_ 110.]
-
-The date of the change of fashion is impossible to fix. We find the
-athletes of Myron and Polycleitus represented with short hair, but
-long-haired Apollos are found considerably after their date. The
-change took place, in all probability, shortly after the Persian
-wars; it then became the fashion for Ephebi to cut off their
-long hair, which they consecrated to Apollo and Artemis or to a
-river god.[174] When once the change had come about, long hair
-was considered, in Athens at least, as a mark of affectation or
-effeminacy. In _The Wasps_ of Aristophanes,[175] Amynias, the typical
-fop, is designated by the name of οὑκ τῶν Κρωβύλου, “he of the
-‘chignon,’” and in _The Clouds_ the wearing of the τέττιξ is spoken
-of as a fashion quite out of date, or, as we might say, antediluvian.
-There is some uncertainty as to whether the Lacedæmonians wore their
-hair short or long; some authorities state that even in the fourth
-century they still wore it long as a mark of freedom, and since they
-were more conservative than the rest of the Greeks, it is quite
-possible that this was the case. With this possible exception, the
-custom of wearing the hair short continued, though Alexander probably
-set the fashion of wearing rather long and mane-like hair.

-
-[Illustration: FIG. 44.]
-
-A covering for the head was rarely worn by men, except when riding
-or travelling long distances; in these cases the πέτασος was worn as
-a protection against sun and rain. This consisted of a felt hat with
-broad brim, which could be turned up or down. Figs. 44, 22, and 23
-represent its various shapes, Fig. 44 being the earliest form. The
-πέτασος, like the χλάμυς, which it almost invariably accompanies,
-probably came originally from Northern Greece, Thrace, or Thessaly,
-where more protection was needed against cold and inclement weather.
-Another head-covering, worn by sailors and by the god Hephaistos, is
-the πῖλος, a felt cap of conical shape resembling the modern fez.[176]
-
- [176] Fig. 19.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 45.—Women’s Head-dress.
- _Face page_ 112.]
-
-Extant monuments show that before the Persian wars women for the
-most part wore their hair down, although instances occur where it is
-fastened up with bands or fillets. When worn down it was usually held
-in place by a fillet, and frequently a metal ornament, rather high
-in front and narrowing towards the back, was added. This was known
-as the ἄμπυξ, or στεφάνη, and was probably made of gold; almost all
-the “Maidens” of the Acropolis wear it, and in several instances it
-is adorned with floral patterns.[177] The high πόλος or crown worn
-by Hera (Fig. 45 (_a_)) was probably also made of metal. Sometimes
-when the hair was worn down, the ends were prevented from flying in
-the wind by being tied together in a kind of little bag,[178] which
-reminds one of the many fashions adopted by men in the Georgian
-period in England. Sometimes, like the men, the women tucked the long
-ends up under the fillet, and let them hang out over it at the back.
-The fillet itself frequently assumed the dimensions of a scarf, the
-ends of which were tucked up at the sides and allowed to hang down
-behind the ears. When the hair was done up, the “chignon” was at
-first worn low on the nape of the neck and held in place by bands
-variously arranged.[179] Sometimes the στεφάνη alone was worn,[180]
-and very often the hair was held up by a kerchief or snood (μίτρα,
-σάκκος). The styles in which it was worn present abundant variety:
-sometimes it covered the hair completely,[181] except for a curl or
-two allowed to escape in front of the ears; sometimes it left the
-hair visible over the forehead only;[182] sometimes over the forehead
-and on the crown of the head, and the ends of the kerchief might
-be tucked through at the side and allowed to hang down in front of
-the ears.[183] Fig. 45 (_f_) gives an example of the στεφάνη worn
-in addition to the snood. In the fourth century fashion seems to
-have dictated that the “chignon” should be worn higher up at the back
-of the head, and a small kerchief was used to hold it up, folded in
-such a way that it narrowed almost to a point over the forehead.[184]
-Apparently a net was sometimes worn over the back of the hair. Fig.
-45 (_l_), from the Meidias vase, furnishes an illustration of this.
-In Hellenistic and Roman times the styles of dressing the hair became
-very numerous. The snood seems to have been discarded altogether,
-and adornment by means of artificial waving and curling apparently
-took its place. The modes of “coiffure” of the Alexandrian Greeks
-are as varied as those of modern Europe. Probably cosmetics were
-used for the hair and paint and powder for the face; for we learn
-from Xenophon’s _Œconomicus_ that as far back as his date, not only
-hetairæ but married women resorted to artificial means of beautifying
-the complexion.

-More than one allusion is made in literature to some kind of hat worn
-by women; in Theocritus (_Idyll_, xv., 39), Praxinoa, when going out
-to the festival of Adonis, asks her maid for her wrap and hat (θολία).

-In the _Œdipus Coloneus_[185] Antigone recognises Ismene from a
-distance by the Thessalian hat which she wears as a protection
-against the heat of the sun. The words used are κυνῆ Θεσσαλίς, which
-seem to imply that the hat was made of some kind of skin, probably
-felt, and resembled the men’s “petasos,” which originated in
-Thessaly or Thrace; its shape may have been slightly different. The
-Tanagra statuettes frequently represent women wearing a broad-brimmed
-hat with high pointed crown.[186]

-FOOTGEAR
-
-
-The practice of covering the feet seems to have varied somewhat among
-the Greeks. In all probability it was the custom to go barefoot
-indoors, and the habit prevailed among certain classes of going
-always unshod in the street also. It was a mark of hardihood in the
-Spartan youths always to go barefoot, and at Athens, in addition to
-the lower orders, who probably never wore shoes, philosophers and
-those who affected a simple life were in the habit of going unshod.
-That Socrates rarely covered his feet is proved by more than one
-reference in Plato’s Dialogues;—Phædrus[187] speaks of him as ἀεὶ
-ἀνυπόδητος, “always unshod,” and in the _Symposium_[188] we learn
-that for the occasion of Agathon’s banquet Socrates has washed and
-put on his shoes, ἃ ὀλιγάκις ἐποίει, “which he seldom did.”
-
- [187] Plato, _Phædrus_, 229 A.
-
- [188] 174 A.
-
-Other references in literature show that he was not the only
-philosopher who preferred to have his feet untrammelled.[189]
-
- [189] Aristophanes, _The Clouds_, 103; Theocritus, XIV., 6.
-
-The normal fashion, however, for people of good breeding was to wear
-sandals or shoes out of doors, and we learn from Aristophanes[190]
-that the Athenians at least were particular about the fit;—to “swim
-about” in large boots was a mark of boorishness. Xenophon[191]
-notices the division of labour in the shoemakers’ trade, where he
-mentions at least four different hands employed in making a pair of
-shoes.

-
-The simplest form of footgear was the sandal, the πέδιλον of Homer,
-the ὑπόδημα of later times; this consisted of a leather sole cut
-to the shape of the foot and fastened on by means of straps or
-thongs, passing sometimes round the instep, sometimes between the
-toes and round the heel and ankle.[192] At times a piece of skin was
-attached to the sandal at the back, so as to cover the back of the
-heel, or even to wrap round the instep entirely, leaving only the
-toes bare;[193] from this form of sandal the ἔμβας, or slipper, was
-probably developed. This is described by Pollux[194] as εὐτελὲς μὲν
-ὑπόδεμα, Θράκιον δὲ τὸ εὕρημα, “a cheap shoe, of Thracian invention.”
-Its name suffices to show that the foot was inserted into the ἔμβας,
-in contradistinction to the sandal, which was bound under the foot;
-and the epithet signifies that it covered the foot completely.
-This description could be applied to many varieties of shoes and
-boots represented in extant art. Fig. 46 (_e_ and _f_) gives two
-examples of shoes—_e_ being an ordinary soft shoe covering the
-foot completely to the ankle, _f_ is turned up at the toes, like a
-modern Greek shoe, and reaches above the ankle at the back. A vase
-at the British Museum represents a woman cleaning a shoe of this
-shape. We learn from Aristophanes[195] that shoes were cleaned with
-blacking made of pitch and applied with a sponge; they were usually
-black, except when the leather was allowed to retain its natural
-colour. The word ἔμβας seems to have been used for various kinds of
-foot-covering; in Aristophanes it refers sometimes to a kind of easy
-slipper worn by old men,[196] and in other instances it is used of
-any ordinary shoe or boot. The mention by Pollux of its Thracian
-origin perhaps refers to the high boot turned over at the top,
-frequently represented on vase-paintings as being worn by horsemen
-with the Thracian cloak and petasos.[197] Different varieties of this
-kind of boot are to be seen in Fig. 46 (_g_, _h_, _i_, and _j_).

-
-An article in Daremberg and Saglio’s _Dictionnaire_ suggests an
-Asiatic origin, and indeed the resemblance between Greek boots and
-those represented on Assyrian monuments is striking. A comparison is
-actually made by Herodotus[198] between Assyrian boots and Bœotian
-ἐμβάδες.
-
- [198] I., 195.
-
-It is quite possible that boots of this kind may have come to Greece
-from the East by way of Thrace, and the fact that Dionysus is very
-frequently represented wearing them seems to add confirmation to
-this conjecture.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 47.]
-
-A variety of the ἐμβάδες is to be found in the ἐνδρομίδες, a kind of
-boot worn by runners, as also by Hermes, Artemis, and the Amazons.
-They seem to have had no flap at the top, and to have been laced over
-a tongue either through holes or round buttons.[199] Another kind
-seems to have consisted of strips of cloth or leather, or possibly
-felt, wound round the legs like the modern puttees.
-
- [199] Figs. 47 and 48 (_a_).
-
-The word κρηπίδες is frequently used of some kind of foot-covering,
-and we learn from Theocritus[200] and from Pollux[201] that these
-were worn by soldiers. The κρῆπις was probably some kind of sandal
-with a thick sole and stout straps interlacing one another in such a
-way as to form a protection for the heel and instep.[202] Pliny[203]
-tells us that sometimes they had nails in them.

-
-Many varieties of shoes or boots are mentioned by Pollux[204] and
-other ancient writers. We read of ἀρβύλαι, ἀρβυλίδες, a cheap kind
-of boot worn on journeys; βλαυταί, light sandals with latchets,
-called also κονιπόδες, from the fact that they allowed the feet to
-get covered with dust; εὐμάριδες, Persian slippers of yellow kid;
-Περσικαί, cheap white shoes worn by women, especially by hetairæ;
-Λακωνικαί, distinguished by their red colour—these were probably
-the same as the Ἁμυκλαί mentioned by Theocritus. One of the archaic
-female statues in the Acropolis Museum at Athens wears red shoes.
-Wood was sometimes used for sandals. Pollux tells us that κρουπέζια
-were a special kind of wooden sandal used for dancing, and that
-Pheidias represented Athene Parthenos wearing Τυρρηνικά, sandals with
-high rectangular wooden soles and gold latchets.

-
-THE TOILET
-
-CONCLUSION
-
-
-The toilet of the ancient Greeks was quite as elaborate as that of
-any modern people, and much time and care was bestowed upon it. That
-of the men was usually performed at the barber’s shop (Κουρεῖον),
-which became, as we gather from frequent allusions in Aristophanes,
-a regular resort for lounging and picking up news and scraps of
-gossip of all kinds. A fashionable Athenian would probably spend a
-whole morning at the barber’s shop, where, in addition to having his
-hair cut and beard clipped or shaved, he could submit to the various
-operations of manicure and chiropody. An epigram in the palatine
-anthology[205] gives a list of barber’s implements, some of which
-have survived in a few examples, and may be seen in our museums. The
-list includes: scissors (ψάλις), razor (ξυρόν), some sharp, pointed
-instrument for paring and cleaning the nails (στόνυξ). Mention is
-also made of a scraper (ψήκτρα), which was probably used after
-bathing. An ancient razor differs from a modern one, in that it is
-crescent shaped.
-
- [205] _Anth. Pal._, vi., 307.
-
-In addition to these implements, various ointments were used, one
-of which, ψίλωθρον, containing arsenic, was employed for removing
-superfluous hairs.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 50.]
-
-When repairing to the wrestling school or the gymnasium, a Greek
-would invariably be provided with an oil-flask (ἀρύβαλλος, λήκυθος)
-and a strigil (ξύστρα). The aryballos (Fig. 50) was a small globular
-vessel, with an opening just large enough to allow the oil to trickle
-slowly out, the lekythos being a long narrow bottle with a foot and
-a narrow neck.[206] Both were used to carry the olive oil with which
-athletes were accustomed to anoint themselves. The strigil was a
-curved metal instrument used for scraping the oil and sand from the
-body after wrestling. The famous statue of the Apoxyomenos in the
-Vatican Museum represents an athlete engaged in this operation.
-
- [206] Fig. 51.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 51.]
-
-The processes and requisites of the feminine toilet were many
-and various, and toilet scenes are frequently represented in
-vase-paintings. Sometimes we may see the process of the bath: an
-attendant slave pouring water from a large vessel over the crouching
-figure of the bather; in other instances we find a lady engaged in
-binding her hair with a fillet, tying her girdle, or fastening her
-sandal. There is almost invariably a maid in attendance, who assists
-in the operations, holding a scent-bottle, or a casket from which her
-mistress selects jewels.[207] One vase-painting shows a lady applying
-powder or colour to her cheeks with a brush.
-
- [207] Fig. 52 (_a_).
-
-Many allusions in literature, and especially in Aristophanes, show
-that paint and cosmetics of various kinds were in use in Athens in
-the fifth century B.C. It is not surprising to learn that hetairæ
-made use of these artificial aids to beauty; but from a passage in
-Xenophon’s _Œconomicus_[208] we gather that the wives and daughters
-of respected citizens did not despise such means of enhancing and
-preserving their appearance. The passage describes how Ischomachus
-found his young wife ἐντετριμμένην πολλῷ μὲν ψιμυθίῳ ὅπως λευκοτέρα
-ἔτι δοκοίη εἶναι ἢ ἦν, πολλῇ δ᾽ ἐγχούσῃ ὅπως ἐρυθροτέρα φαίνοιτο
-τῆς ἀληθείας, ὑποδήματα δ᾽ ἔχουσαν ὑψηλά, ὅπως μείζων δοκοίη εἶναι
-ἢ ἐπεφύκει, “with much white lead rubbed into her skin, to make her
-look fairer than she was; and with much rouge, to make her appear
-rosier; and wearing high sandals, to add to her natural height.”
-
- [208] x., 2.
-
-Ischomachus persuades her to give up these vanities, asking her if
-she will like him better if he goes about μίλτρῳ ἀλειφόμενος καὶ τοὺς
-ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑπαλειφόμενος, “anointed with red ochre, and with pigment
-under his eyes.”
-

-
-White lead was commonly used for producing a fair complexion; it was
-prepared by laying lead in vinegar, scraping off, powdering, and
-heating the white rust thus formed.[209] Various substances were used
-for producing rouge—some mineral, some vegetable; of the latter,
-the root of a plant (ἔγχουσα or ἄγχουσα), certain kinds of seaweed
-(φῦκος), and mulberry juice (συκάμινον), were common. That some kind
-of pigment was used for darkening the eyelids is further testified
-by Pollux[210] and Aristophanes.[211] Lamp-black and a sulphuret of
-antimony (στίμμις), were used for blackening eyebrows and eyelids.
-Perfumed powders and unguents were used for skin and hair, scented
-with myrrh or roses or other products. The simplest and most common
-unguent was, of course, olive oil. In addition to artificial
-complexions, we learn that false hair and wigs (πηνίκη, προκομίον),
-were not unknown, and that these came from the East.[212]

-
-Many examples have survived of the various articles pertaining to
-the equipment of a Greek lady’s toilet-table. Combs, hair-pins,
-mirrors, boxes, and bottles are numerous in our museums. Combs are
-usually made of ivory or bone, with a double row of rather fine
-teeth. Hair-pins of bone, ivory, or metal consist of a single pin
-with an ornamental head. Mirrors are of highly polished metal,
-usually bronze, though some have been found in silver. The mirrors
-may be divided into two classes—disk-mirrors and box-mirrors. The
-former consists of a single disk polished on one side, the reverse
-being usually engraved. The disk is furnished with a handle, which
-is sometimes so constructed that it can serve also as a foot; the
-mirror can so be made to stand on a table. The handle of a mirror of
-this kind very frequently takes the form of a human figure.[213] The
-box-mirror consists of two disks, the lower one, with its polished
-upper surface, serving as the mirror, the upper one as a cover to
-protect it. The two are sometimes quite separate and fit closely on
-to one another, but more often they are joined by a hinge; the cover
-is usually ornamented with relief work, a favourite subject being
-Aphrodite and Eros, although other mythological scenes are also
-found.[214]

-
-Of the various receptacles used for containing trinkets, hair-bands,
-cosmetics, and so on, the commonest is the pyxis, although we find
-also baskets and little square caskets represented in vase-paintings
-and on the Attic grave reliefs. A box for cosmetics in the British
-Museum is in the shape of a bird.[215] The pyxis is a circular box
-with a lid; its sides are sometimes straight, but more often concave,
-and it is frequently raised on a foot. Its material was originally
-boxwood, hence its name, πύξις; but the majority of those which
-are extant are terra-cotta, though they are known also in ivory,
-alabaster, and precious metals. A common subject on a terra-cotta
-pyxis is a toilet scene or a marriage procession.[216]
-
- [215] Fig. 52 (_b_).
-
- [216] Fig. 52 (_a_).
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 54.]
-
-The alabastron used to contain unguents or perfumes is a long narrow
-bottle with a spreading neck and small opening; it has no foot, and
-is round at the bottom, so that some kind of stand must have been
-necessary to hold it upright when not in use.[217] It was usually
-made of stone, alabaster, or terra-cotta. The lekythos also was
-sometimes used for the same purpose.
-
- [217] Fig. 54.
-
-That Greek ladies wore abundant jewellery is proved by frequent
-representations both in sculpture and vase-paintings, as also by
-actual finds of jewellery, notably in the Greek graves of the fourth
-century at Kertch. These objects have been described and discussed by
-Mr A. B. Walters, in his book on _The Art of the Greeks_.[218] Rings,
-bracelets, necklaces, brooches, and ear-rings, were commonly worn,
-as well as ornamental hair-pins and metal diadems for the hair. Many
-examples of goldsmith’s work are extant including some gold ornaments
-set with precious stones.

-
-In summing up the results of the foregoing enquiry, we find that
-the nature and development of the costume of the Greeks is entirely
-in accordance with what we know of the nature and development of
-the national character. The chief characteristics of the Doric
-dress, which was probably worn in early days by all the inhabitants
-of the mainland alike, is a certain broad simplicity; that of
-the Ionic dress, which was worn by the Asiatic Greeks, and for a
-short period at least by the Athenians also, is graceful elegance.
-These characteristics distinguish the Doric and Ionic temperaments
-as exhibited in art also, notably in architecture, and to some
-extent also in sculpture. Athens appears to have occupied a middle
-position between the Peloponnese and Ionia. The Peloponnesians seem
-to have clung throughout their history to the Dorian dress, as the
-Ionians probably did to the Ionic; but in Athens we find change and
-development most strongly marked. In very early days the Athenians
-wore the Doric dress; then in the course of the seventh and sixth
-centuries their intercourse with the East brought them into contact
-with Eastern ideas and Eastern customs, and they appear to have
-caught something of the luxury which was characteristic of the East.
-At any rate, for a time at least they adopted the Ionic dress,
-and carried it to a great degree of luxury and extravagance. Then
-with the Persian wars came a reaction against anything savouring
-of Orientalism, and a return to greater simplicity. This led to a
-resumption of the Doric dress, with certain modifications and the
-retention of some Ionic elements.
-
-It can hardly be questioned that the freedom and simplicity of their
-dress was to a great extent the cause of the development of the
-splendid physique which the Greeks undoubtedly enjoyed. Their loose
-draperies allowed their limbs perfect freedom, and their bodies
-were unhampered by constraint of any kind. In the palæstra and the
-gymnasium, air and sunlight were allowed to exercise their salutary
-influence, for the Greeks were not “ashamed of their own naked skin,”
-and so discarded their clothing when in pursuit of their athletic
-occupations. The healthy state of body thus preserved no doubt had
-its share in fostering that healthy state of mind to which are due
-the sanity and sobriety that characterise all Greek thought, whether
-expressed in literature, art, or philosophy.

-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project

-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right

-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If

-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-object of this book is to give a continuous account of the dress
-worn by the people inhabiting Greek lands, from the earliest times
-of which we have any record down to the Hellenistic age. The first
-chapter stands somewhat apart from the rest, since it deals with the
-costume of the race which occupied the Ægean shores before the real
-Hellenic races arrived on the scene, and of which we have abundant
-remains in Crete and elsewhere within the Ægean area. The remains
-found at Mycenæ, Tiryns, and other so-called Mycenæan sites, seem to
-be the last efforts of this dying civilization, which was replaced in
-the period of invasion and conquest recorded in the Homeric poems. I
-have been unable to trace any continuous development from the dress
-of this pre-Hellenic people to that of classic Greece, and the marked
-difference in the type of costume between the two periods bears out
-the theory of a difference of race.</p>
-
-<p>I have endeavoured to show that the dress described in the Homeric
-poems is of the same type as the dress of classic Greece, and of
-this I have traced the historic development, classifying<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_viii">[p. viii]</span> it into two main
-divisions, namely, Doric and Ionic. The simple and severe Doric
-dress contrasts with the more luxurious costume of the Ionian
-Greeks, although there are many instances, from the fifth century
-and onwards, in which the two styles are blended. I have noted also
-the elements which probably came in from Northern Greece; these are
-chiefly the chlamys and petasos.</p>
-
-<p>The bulk of the following pages constituted a thesis approved for
-the degree of Master of Arts in the University of London. In revising
-the work for the press, however, some alterations and additions have
-been made. The chief of these is the addition of the section on the
-toilet; the illustrations have been carefully selected from extant
-monuments.</p>
-
-<p>My sources for the chapter on pre-Hellenic dress have been mainly
-the finds of Mr A. J. Evans at Knossos, which I had the opportunity
-of seeing in the Candia Museum; these have been supplemented by the
-figures found at Petsofa, in Crete, and by various Mycenæan objects,
-notably rings and gems. The papers published by Mr Evans and Mr J.
-L. Myres in the <i>British School Annual</i> have been of very great
-value.</p>
-
-<p>For the chapter on Homeric dress, my chief authority has been
-the poems themselves; in the absence of contemporary monuments, I
-have used the François vase to illustrate this section, since the
-figures upon it seem to tally most closely with the descriptions of
-dress found in the poems. Of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_ix">[p.
-ix]</span> modern literary authorities, the most valuable has been
-Studniczka’s <i>Beiträge zur Geschichte der Altgriechischen Tracht</i>.</p>
-
-<p>For the dress of the classical period, the evidence from extant
-art is abundant, and I have based my study chiefly upon it. Sculpture
-and vase-paintings have furnished the majority of my illustrations.
-I have noted many references to dress scattered up and down the
-ancient authors, and a passage from the fifth book of Herodotus has
-furnished a starting-point for the classification into Doric and
-Ionic dress.</p>
-
-<p>My theory as to the shape and “cut” of the himation worn by the
-archaic ladies in the Acropolis Museum at Athens is, I think, a
-new one; it is based on a very careful examination of the statues,
-supplemented by some practical experiments in draping a living
-model.</p>
-
-<p>For the sections on head-dress, materials, and footgear, I have
-referred to passages in ancient literature, and have used extant
-remains for illustrations, chiefly vase-paintings; except in the case
-of materials, for which I have cited the actual fragments of fabric
-found in Greek tombs at Kertch, in the Crimea.</p>
-
-<p>In describing individual garments, I have in each case
-suggested dimensions and given diagrams, which, it is hoped, may
-be of practical use to those who wish to make Greek dresses for
-themselves.</p>
-
-<p>Throughout the work, in addition to ancient<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_x">[p. x]</span> authorities, I have consulted the various
-articles in the current classical dictionaries. These include
-Pauly-Wissowa’s <i>Real Encyclopädie</i>, Daremberg and Saglio’s
-<i>Dictionnaire des Antiquités grecques et romaines</i>, Smith’s
-<i>Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities</i>, Gardner and Jevons’
-<i>Manual of Greek Antiquities</i>, and the <i>Companion to Greek Studies</i>.
-Other works, to which single references have been made, are mentioned
-in the footnotes.</p>
-
-<p>In addition to written authorities, I have received personal help
-from several scholars and friends, to whom I should like to express
-my thanks.</p>
-
-<p>In the first place, I should like to acknowledge my indebtedness
-to the Reid Trustees of Bedford College, who elected me to a
-Fellowship in 1905, which enabled me to work for my second degree,
-and to spend some months in Greece as a student of the British School
-at Athens.</p>
-
-<p>The suggestion that a thesis on the subject of Greek Dress might
-be of some value beyond getting me a degree, was due to Mr A. B.
-Cook, of Cambridge, under whom I had already worked for three years
-at Bedford College, and whose constant readiness to stimulate my
-leanings towards Archæology encouraged me to continue my studies in
-that direction. Mr Cook very kindly read this work in manuscript for
-me, and gave me the benefit of his criticisms. I owe a very great
-deal, also, to Professor Ernest Gardner, of University College,
-London, whose M.A. courses I attended regularly<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_xi">[p. xi]</span> for two years, and from whom I constantly
-received help and guidance.</p>
-
-<p>While in Athens, I devoted my attention chiefly to the dress
-of the archaic statues in the Acropolis Museum, and had the
-opportunity of discussing this subject with Mr R. C. Bosanquet,
-then director of the British School. I must also thank Herr Fritz
-Röhrig, the German sculptor, who placed his studio in Athens at my
-disposal, and procured a model for me, for the purpose of making my
-first experiments in reproducing the archaic style of draping the
-himation.</p>
-
-<p>Special acknowledgments are due to Mr A. J. Evans, Mr J. L.
-Myres, and the Committee of the British School at Athens, for their
-courtesy in allowing me to reproduce subjects published by them in
-the <i>British School Annual</i>; to the Trustees of the British Museum,
-for permission to secure photographs of objects in the Museum for
-publication; to Mr Cecil Smith, for giving me free access to the
-library of the Department of Antiquities; and, particularly, to Mr H.
-B. Walters, who went through the illustrations with me, and greatly
-facilitated the task of securing suitable ones.</p>
-
-<p>Lastly, my grateful thanks are due to Mr John Murray, for
-undertaking to publish the book, and to Mr A. H. Hallam Murray, for
-his constant courtesy and assistance during the progress of the work
-of publication.</p>

-seeking to conjure up a vivid picture of the life of an ancient
-people, it is the task of the archæologist to neglect no point that
-can in any way throw light on the manners and customs which that
-people practised from day to day, both in the exercise of their
-public duties and in the privacy of their own homes.</p>
-
-<p>Just as the habits and dress of an individual frequently give a
-true impression of his character and type of mind, so the salient
-characteristics of a nation are reflected in the external details
-of their manners and their costume. In making a careful study of
-the Greeks, therefore, whose innate feeling for beauty was part of
-their very being, and whose sense of the fitness of things rarely if
-ever played them false, we shall expect to find our efforts amply
-repaid, both by the satisfaction given to the æsthetic sense and by
-the knowledge we<span class="pagenum" id="Page_2">[p. 2]</span>
-shall have gained of the development of the national character. The
-study of costume has, moreover, an ethnological significance which in
-itself justifies a detailed investigation of the subject.</p>
-
-<p>Professor Ridgeway, in <i>The Early Age of Greece</i>, has pointed out
-that the civilization reflected in the Homeric poems differs in many
-essential points from that which is revealed by the monuments found
-at Mycenæan sites on the mainland of Greece and in the Ægean islands.
-Confirmation has since been added to his convincing arguments by
-the discoveries of Mr Arthur Evans in Crete, which prove that the
-so-called Mycenæan remains were but the last efforts of a dying
-civilization which stretched back at least as far as the third
-millennium before our era. The culture revealed by the excavations at
-Knossos and other sites in Crete presents a striking contrast to that
-of the Greeks of the classic period; whereas the state of society
-described in the Homeric poems seems to contain analogies with both
-periods.</p>
-
-<p>The palace of Alcinous and the house of Odysseus, as described in
-the <i>Odyssey</i>, correspond in plan to the palace of Mycenæ excavated
-by the Greek Archæological Society in 1886, which undoubtedly
-belongs to the older stratum of civilization;<a id="FNanchor_1"
-href="#Footnote_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a> on the other hand, the
-methods of dis<span class="pagenum" id="Page_3">[p. 3]</span>posing
-of the dead, and the underlying principles of costume, are utterly
-different in the two cases. The Homeric heroes burn their dead,
-whereas the remains found in Mycenæan graves prove that in the
-state of society to which they belong burial was the common method
-of disposing of the dead. The difference in costume is equally
-striking; the women’s dress, illustrated by the Mycenæan gems and
-the wall-paintings and faïence statuettes from Knossos, consists of
-elaborately made garments, with tight jackets fitting closely to
-the figures at the waist, and full and frequently flounced skirts;
-there is no indication of fastening by means of brooches or fibulæ.
-In Homer the brooch is almost invariably mentioned as an essential
-detail of female costume, and the garments described are of a simple
-character, and such that they can be spread out and used for other
-purposes. For example, Aphrodite, when protecting Æneas from his
-assailants, shields him from their weapons by drawing a fold of

-rites of Hector, the body is covered, πορφυρέοις πέπλοισι μαλακοῖσιν
-(<i>Iliad</i>, xxiv., 796), “with soft purple robes.”</p>
-
-<p>The contrast between the forms of dress represented in Mycenæan
-art and in the Homeric poems can only be explained by supposing
-that there is a difference in race between the two peoples, and
-that the older civilization was almost entirely swept away by a
-great series of invasions carried out by men of a different race.
-The<span class="pagenum" id="Page_4">[p. 4]</span> Homeric dress
-is closely akin to that of the Greeks of the classic period,
-whereas that represented on Mycenæan rings and gems belongs, as
-will be shown later, to the stratum of civilization revealed by
-the Cretan excavations.<a id="FNanchor_2" href="#Footnote_2"
-class="fnanchor">[2]</a> We must suppose, then, that the Homeric
-heroes belonged to the invading race, which was full of youthful
-vigour and succeeded in superimposing its manners and customs upon
-those of the older, decadent society, and in finally ousting the
-older inhabitants from their homes altogether. The process was one
-which must have lasted over some centuries, and it is probable that
-the Homeric poems were composed whilst it was still incomplete, and
-that the siege of Troy represents one incident in the long wars
-which were waged between the two peoples. This view accounts for the
-fact that the Homeric house belongs to the older civilization, while
-the costume is that of the later. The invaders, having conquered or
-driven out the inhabitants, finding their houses strongly built and
-luxuriously decorated, would refrain from destroying them and settle
-themselves peacefully and comfortably there, naturally retaining
-their own style of dress and customs of disposing of their dead.
-Any new houses built after their settlement would be constructed
-after their own plans, and so the Homeric house would gradually
-give place to the Hellenic. The absence of brooches and fibulæ from
-the graves on the Acropolis of Mycenæ, and their presence in<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_5">[p. 5]</span> those of the lower city,
-adds confirmation to this theory. The Acropolis graves are earlier
-than the others, which in all probability belong to the time when
-the invaders had already imposed some of their characteristic
-customs upon their predecessors at Mycenæ and elsewhere in Greece.
-The use of the fibula is common to the early peoples of Central
-Europe, from which region it must have been introduced by the
-Achæan invaders into Greece.<a id="FNanchor_3" href="#Footnote_3"
-class="fnanchor">[3]</a></p>
-
-<p>The earliest remains found on Greek soil are those which have been
-unearthed by Mr A. J. Evans, in his series of excavations at Knossos,
-in Crete. They represent earlier stages of that civilization which
-has hitherto been known as Mycenæan. The costume revealed by the art
-of this pre-Hellenic age forms a study in itself, since it presents a
-striking contrast to that of the classic period in Greece, and also
-to that of contemporary Asiatic peoples. The costume of the men is
-simple; when not entirely nude, they wear sometimes a waist-cloth
-rolled round a girdle, with a loose end hanging down like an apron in
-front;<a id="FNanchor_4" href="#Footnote_4" class="fnanchor">[4]</a>
-in a lead statuette of the same period found near Abbia, in Laconia,
-the waist-cloth appears to take the form of a triangular piece of
-material wrapped round the girdle, the apex of the triangle being
-drawn up between the legs and tucked into the<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_6">[p. 6]</span> belt in front. In some terra-cotta
-figurines from Petsofa,<a id="FNanchor_5" href="#Footnote_5"
-class="fnanchor">[5]</a> a third garment appears, consisting of a
-rectangular piece of material with the long side tucked into the
-belt all round and the short sides hanging down perpendicularly in
-front. In the later Mycenæan period, the garment takes the form of
-short breeches reaching half-way down the thigh. These are probably
-a development from the earlier waist-cloth.<a id="FNanchor_6"

-<p>In most cases the upper part of the body appears to be quite
-bare, but in some instances a line is drawn at the neck and wrists
-which may indicate the edges of a close-fitting, long-sleeved
-tunic. It is more probable, however, that these lines are meant
-to represent a necklace and bracelets, such as have been found in
-considerable numbers in Mycenæan graves. On a siege scene represented
-on a fragment of a silver vase from Mycenæ,<a id="FNanchor_7"
-href="#Footnote_7" class="fnanchor">[7]</a> the majority of the
-fighting warriors are represented quite nude; but in one case (at
-the lower right-hand corner) a tunic and head-dress are worn; but in
-this instance the tunic has sleeves reaching only half-way to the
-elbow, as is also the case with the inhabitants, who are watching the
-progress of the battle from behind the city wall; two figures, which
-appear to be just leaving the city, wear square cloaks fastened on
-the right shoulder and leaving both arms free; they do not appear
-to<span class="pagenum" id="Page_7">[p. 7]</span> be fighting,
-and probably represent heralds about to make some proposal to the
-enemy. The covering here described as a cloak has been regarded as
-representing an oblong shield (<span
- class="cambiado"
- title="In the printed book: ἤυτε"
- id="tn_1">ἠΰτε</span>
-πύργος); but in view of the
-fact that the men carry no weapons and that both arms are exposed,
-it seems more reasonable to suppose that a mantle is intended. The
-warriors in front are fighting without protection; and if any shield
-were represented, we should expect it to be of the usual Mycenæan
-shape, which appears as a decoration on the upper left-hand corner of
-the fragment. A fragment of a wall-painting from Mycenæ represents a
-warrior wearing a short-sleeved tunic and having a double bracelet
-at the wrist; it appears, then, that when the pre-Hellenic man wore
-a tunic, it was not furnished with long sleeves, and even when his
-clothing was of the scantiest possible nature, he was not far enough
-removed from primitive barbarism to prevent his adorning his person
-with bracelet and necklace.</p>
-
-<p>The indication of some kind of footgear is frequent: it is
-represented on the Vaphio cups; and on a wall-painting from Tiryns
-depicting the capture of a bull, it takes the form of pointed
-shoes turned up at the toes and fastened by a series of bands
-above the ankles. Such pointed shoes were common to the Assyrians
-and the Hittites, and are worn to this day by Greeks and Turks,
-and frequently also in other rocky countries.<a id="FNanchor_8"
-href="#Footnote_8" class="fnanchor">[8]</a></p>
-
-<p>In the wall-painting from Tiryns, and on a<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_8">[p. 8]</span> Mycenæan intaglio (Perrot and Chipiez,
-VI., 426. 21), a number of bands is indicated just below the knee.
-Possibly the boots were fastened by leather laces crossed round the
-legs and then passed two or three times round under the knees. At
-present these bands have only been found in cases where the wearer is
-engaged in some violent occupation, such as the bull-taming scene; it
-has been suggested that they represent a leather thong wound round
-the knees to act as a protection; on stony ground some such guard
-would be necessary.</p>
-
-<p>The head-dress, of conical shape, finished by a button or
-flattened knob on the top, represents a helmet, made sometimes
-probably of metal, as was the case in Assyria, but in some cases
-certainly of felt or leather, covered with rows of overlapping
-boar’s tusks, turned alternately in opposite directions. A large
-number of boar’s tusks were found by Dr Schliemann<a id="FNanchor_9"
-href="#Footnote_9" class="fnanchor">[9]</a> at Mycenæ, flattened
-on one side and with several holes in them, which obviously served
-to fasten them to some object; such a helmet is to be seen in an
-ivory fragment from Mycenæ,<a id="FNanchor_10" href="#Footnote_10"

-described in <i>Iliad</i>, X., 261.</p>

-
-<p>In some cases the helmet presents a strikingly Egyptian
-appearance, and may quite possibly have been derived from Egypt;
-evidence of direct intercourse between the Cretans and Egyptians
-is not wanting; indeed the clearest representation of the costume
-of the pre-Hellenic inhabitants of the Ægean shores is to be found
-on an Egyptian tomb fresco,<a id="FNanchor_11" href="#Footnote_11"
-class="fnanchor">[11]</a> where the Kefts are depicted bringing vases
-as tribute to the Egyptian monarch, their costume is identical with
-that of the cupbearer from the Knossian fresco, and they are carrying
-vessels of the same shapes as many which have been found in Crete
-and on other Mycenæan sites. It has been pointed out by Mr H. R.
-Hall<a id="FNanchor_12" href="#Footnote_12" class="fnanchor">[12]</a>
-that the Keftiu were the people of the Ægean islands, including
-Crete, and that sometimes the name was applied exclusively to the
-Cretans. The Keftiu were formerly mistaken for Phœnicians; but their
-whole appearance and costume on the Egyptian fresco is utterly
-unlike anything Phœnician; so we are quite justified in considering
-that they represent the Cretans faithfully as they appeared to the
-Egyptians, especially in view of their similarity to the cup<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_10">[p. 10]</span>bearer of the fresco at
-Knossos, a native product of Cretan art.</p>
-
-<p>A striking analogy to the pre-Hellenic male costume is to be
-observed in the Etruscan wall-paintings from the tombs at Corneto,
-now in the British Museum. The waist-cloth, shoes, and head-dress
-are there represented in a form almost identical with that found in
-Mycenæan art. So little is known of the origin of the Etruscans, that
-it is difficult to say whether this similarity of dress indicates any
-racial connection between the two peoples; it is interesting to note
-that among ancient authorities Hellanicus of Lesbos states that the
-Etruscans were of Pelasgian origin, and modern writers have claimed
-a Pelasgian origin for the Cretans; there is not sufficient evidence
-forthcoming at present to determine whether they are right or wrong;
-but in any case, it is not improbable that both the Etruscans and the
-Cretans were branches of a common civilization, which spread itself
-all round the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in pre-Hellenic times,
-and that the Etruscans maintained some of their early characteristics
-down to a later date than other peoples of the same race.<a
-id="FNanchor_13" href="#Footnote_13" class="fnanchor">[13]</a></p>
-
-<p>Turning to the female costume of the pre-Hellenic age, we find
-we have something far more complicated to deal with. The same style
-of dress is found on the early faïence figures from Knossos<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_11">[p. 11]</span> and Petsofa, and extends
-right on until quite late Mycenæan times.</p>

-<p>It consists of a short-sleeved jacket, fitting closely to the
-figure, and a full skirt, standing out round the feet in a manner
-suggestive of the hoops of the early Victorian age. The juncture of
-the two garments is hidden by a thick double girdle worn round the
-waist, which is pinched into the smallest possible compass.</p>
-
-<p>The snake goddess and her votary<a id="FNanchor_14"
-href="#Footnote_14" class="fnanchor">[14]</a> from Knossos have, in
-addition, a kind of apron reaching almost to the knees in front and
-behind, and rising to the hips at the sides. The costume is completed
-by the addition of a high hat or turban.</p>
-
-<p>Looking at the snake goddess more in detail, we find that the
-jacket is cut away into a V-shape from the neck to the waist, leaving
-both the breasts quite bare; the two edges are laced across below
-the breast, the laces being fastened in a series of bows. The jacket
-is covered with an elaborate volute pattern, the apron with spots
-and bordered with a “guilloche.” The horizontal lines on the skirt
-probably represent stripes in the material, the edge being ornamented
-with a reticulated band. The girdle of the goddess is composed of two
-snakes intertwined. The head-dress here consists of a high turban,
-probably made of cloth or linen wound round some kind of framework.
-The principle of the costume is always the same, though the fashions
-vary considerably in detail: for example, the skirt of<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_12">[p. 12]</span> the votary is composed
-of a series of seven flounces, one above the other, the lower edge
-in each case just covering the upper edge of the flounce below,
-the whole being probably sewn on to a foundation. On a fresco<a
-id="FNanchor_15" href="#Footnote_15" class="fnanchor">[15]</a>
-representing a lady dancing, the skirt seems to consist of three
-such flounces. On the same figure the breast is not left bare, but a
-chemisette seems to be worn under the jacket, possibly made of some
-fine linen material, the edge of which is distinctly indicated at
-the neck. In one of the statuettes from Petsofa<a id="FNanchor_16"
-href="#Footnote_16" class="fnanchor">[16]</a> the jacket terminates
-at the back in a high “Medici” collar, and in another fresco, from
-Knossos, a high sash appears on the back, the loop reaching to the
-nape of the neck, and the fringed edge hanging down to the waist; at
-first sight this sash recalls the Japanese “Obi.”<a id="FNanchor_17"
-href="#Footnote_17" class="fnanchor">[17]</a> The millinery of the
-Cretan ladies, as illustrated by the terra-cotta fragments from
-Petsofa, exhibits an abundant variety of styles. The hat seems
-to have consisted of a flat, circular, or oval piece of material
-pinched up into any shape to suit the taste of the wearer; sometimes
-it is fastened down towards the nape of the neck, and curves round
-the head, rising high up in front over the face; in one case<a
-id="FNanchor_18" href="#Footnote_18" class="fnanchor">[18]</a>
-the brim has a wavy edge and is trimmed with rosettes underneath;
-frequently it is<span class="pagenum" id="Page_13">[p.

-<p>On none of the examples of costume quoted above is there any

-being concealed by the belt, as is the case with the modern blouse

-
-<p>It has been pointed out by Mr J. L. Myres<a id="FNanchor_20"
-href="#Footnote_20" class="fnanchor">[20]</a> that this jacket
-and apron type of dress is commonly worn at the present day by
-the peasants of the mountainous districts of Europe, chiefly in

-and Switzerland, moreover, we find the<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_14">[p. 14]</span> addition of a fan-like head-dress
-analogous to that represented in Minoan art. The appearance of the
-same kind of costume in Crete in the third millennium before our era
-merely serves to show that the type of dress need not necessarily
-be a modern development, but may possibly claim greater antiquity
-than has hitherto been supposed. The question of survival in the
-Ægean is interesting; as late as Tournefort’s<a id="FNanchor_21"
-href="#Footnote_21" class="fnanchor">[21]</a> time, the inhabitants
-of some of the islands—for example, Mycone—appear to have worn
-a dress composed of a tight jacket and flounced skirt, with the
-addition of some Turkish elements; in the remoter islands there is a
-possibility—but it is little more than a possibility—that this may be
-a case of survival; in any case, the type seems to have disappeared

-</div>
-
-<p class="ti0"><span class="smcap">Turning</span>
-to the various passages in the Homeric poems which refer to dress,
-we find that there is very little likelihood that they can be
-intended to describe the kind of costume dealt with above under
-the name of “Pre-Hellenic Dress.” The words used, and the accounts
-of the process of dressing, have no meaning, unless we suppose
-them to refer to the draped type of costume as opposed both to the
-close-fitting jacket type and to the dressing-gown type, consisting
-of a loose-sleeved garment opening down the front. The question of
-the kind of dress actually worn by the Trojan and Achæan heroes is
-not one to be entered into here; possibly it may have been the same
-as that reflected in the art of the Minoan and Mycenæan peoples;
-indeed, if the Trojans represent the older race which inhabited the
-shores of the Ægean, and the Achæans the invaders who came down upon
-them from the north, there is every probability that the former wore
-the pre-Hellenic dress, and the latter introduced the new Hellenic
-draped type. The use of the epithets βαθύκολπος and βαθύζωνος,<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_16">[p. 16]</span> “deep-bosomed” and
-“deep-girdled,” in the Homeric poems perhaps has some bearing on
-this point. Referring respectively to the deep hollow between
-the breasts and to the girdle cutting deep into the figure, they
-might well be applied to the wasp-waisted ladies of Knossos. It is
-significant to notice that βαθύκολπος is used only of Trojan women,<a
-id="FNanchor_23" href="#Footnote_23" class="fnanchor">[23]</a>
-βαθύζωνος only of barbarian captives;<a id="FNanchor_24"
-href="#Footnote_24" class="fnanchor">[24]</a> possibly the poet may
-be unconsciously referring to the difference between the dress of the
-older race and that of their Achæan conquerors.</p>
-
-<p>However that may be, in most cases Homer ascribes the same kind
-of costume to Achæans and Trojans alike; he is singing of deeds that
-happened many years, perhaps even two or three centuries, before
-his day, and being no archæologist, he imagines his heroes to have
-dressed as his own contemporaries did; he is acting no differently
-from the Italian masters, who painted their Madonnas in mediæval
-costume.</p>
-
-<p>We find in Homer many differences in the nomenclature used when
-speaking of men’s and women’s dresses respectively. The words χιτών
-and
-<span
- class="cambiado"
- title="In the printed book: χαλῖνα"
- id="tn_4">χλαῖνα</span>
-are applied exclusively to men’s costume, πέπλος and
-κρήδεμνον exclusively to women’s, whereas the word φᾶρος is the only
-one used indifferently for either; both men and women alike fasten
-their garments with brooches or pins of some kind (περόνη, ἐνετή) and
-with girdles (ζώνη, ζωστήρ). Many of the words applied to articles
-of wearing-apparel<span class="pagenum" id="Page_17">[p. 17]</span>
-are also used to signify coverings for beds, seats, etc.: such are
-χλαῖνα, ῥήγεα, πέπλος, φᾶρος; the last is used also of sails and
-of the shroud of Laertes.<a id="FNanchor_25" href="#Footnote_25"
-class="fnanchor">[25]</a> This being the case, we must infer that
-they were not made-up garments, but large square or oblong pieces of
-material which could be used for other purposes besides clothing; the
-Homeric dress, therefore, must belong to the draped type rather than
-to any other.</p>
-
-<p>The men’s dress in Homer regularly consists of two pieces—the
-χιτών, or under-garment, and a cloak called variously χλαῖνα, φᾶρος,
-or, in one case, λώπη.<a id="FNanchor_26" href="#Footnote_26"
-class="fnanchor">[26]</a> Warriors sometimes wore a skin instead of
-the mantle. For example, in <i>Iliad</i>, x., 22, Agamemnon is described
-as putting on a lion’s skin, and a few lines further on Menelaus
-appears wearing a dappled leopard’s skin.</p>
-
-<p>The description of the process of dressing in the <i>Iliad</i>
-is simple and straightforward. Agamemnon<a id="FNanchor_27"
-href="#Footnote_27" class="fnanchor">[27]</a> awakes in the morning,
-and prepares to meet the assembly of the Achæans:</p>

-<p>The χιτών was apparently, then, a garment which could be drawn
-on (ἔνδυνε) while in a sitting position. No mention is made, either
-in this or other similar passages, of pins or girdle to fasten the

-
-<p>Studniczka<a id="FNanchor_28" href="#Footnote_28"

-
-<p>The words ἐνδύνω, ἐκδύνω, are commonly used for “to put on” and

-drawn over the head; although occasionally περί is used with the
-simple verb δύνω instead of the compound ἐνδύνω.<a id="FNanchor_29"
-href="#Footnote_29" class="fnanchor">[29]</a> In no case is there any
-mention of pins or brooches in connection with the χιτών, so we are
-justified in inferring that it was a sewn garment; and in <i>Odyssey</i>,
-xxiv., 227, the χιτών of Laertes is actually described as sewn:</p>

- class="cambiado"
- title="In the printed book: ἑλκεχιτῶνες"
- id="tn_5">ἑλκεχίτωνες</span>—with
-trailing chitons—so that trailing garments were
-evidently customary only among the Ionians; warriors while fighting
-and slaves occupied in active work would probably wear very short
-garments reaching only to the thigh, as they are to be seen on the
-earliest vase-paintings. The princes and elders of the people,
-engaged in peaceful pursuits, in all probability wore them reaching
-to the ankles. The word τερμίοεις, applied to the χιτών in <i>Odyssey</i>,
-xix., 242, is usually taken to mean “reaching to the feet,” and to be
-equivalent to ποδήρης, used by later writers.</p>
-
-<p>With regard to the material of which the χιτών was made, the
-word itself is connected with a Semitic root signifying linen;<a
-id="FNanchor_31" href="#Footnote_31" class="fnanchor">[31]</a> and
-from the various epithets applied to it in Homer, it is reasonable
-to infer that the garment was ordinarily made of that material. It
-is described as σιγαλόεις, “shining” or “glossy”; and although<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_20">[p. 20]</span> this particular epithet
-need mean no more than “dazzlingly clean,” its comparison for
-softness and brightness with the skin of an onion<a id="FNanchor_32"
-href="#Footnote_32" class="fnanchor">[32]</a> would hardly be very
-apt, if it were made of a stuff that did not present a very smooth
-surface; a hand-woven woollen material might possibly be called
-μαλακός, “soft,” but could hardly be described as shining like the
-sun. Two passages in Homer show clearly that oil was used in the
-weaving of linen, which would have the effect of producing a shiny
-appearance. The maidens in the palace of Alcinous are described as
-weaving linen from which the oil runs off:</p>
-
-<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
-<p class="i0">καιρουσσέων δ᾽ ὀθονέων ἀπολείβεται ὑγρὸν ἔλαιον.</p>
-</div>
-<p class="dr">[<i>Odyssey</i>, vii., 107.]</p>
-</div>
-
-<p class="ti0">“And from the close-woven linen the liquid oil runs
-off,” and in <i>Iliad</i>, 596, the youths in the dancing place on the
-shield of Achilles are described as wearing χιτῶνας
-<span
- class="cambiado"
- title="In the printed book: εὐννήτους"
- id="tn_6">ἐϋννήτους</span>, ἦκα
-στίλβοντας ἐλαίῳ, “well spun, shining softly with oil.”</p>
-
-<p>The epithet στρέπτος applied to the χιτών<a id="FNanchor_33"
-href="#Footnote_33" class="fnanchor">[33]</a> requires comment;
-it was taken by Aristarchus, the grammarian, to mean a coat of
-chain mail. There is no evidence to show that such a piece of
-defensive armour was known to the early Greeks, and we find<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_21">[p. 21]</span> no reference to it until
-Roman times; there is, therefore, no justification for the inference
-that στρέπτος χιτών in Homer means a coat of mail.</p>
-
-<p>The word στρέπτος means primarily “twisted,” and could be applied
-to a coarse kind of linen whose texture showed very clearly the
-separate threads of which it was woven; but other uses of the word in
-Homer, and the second of the two passages in which it is applied to a
-χιτών, suggest a different interpretation. In <i>Odyssey</i>, ii., 426, in
-the description of the rigging of a ship, the expression εὐστρέπτοισι
-βοεῦσιν occurs. The adjective here can very well retain its simple
-meaning—“well-twisted”; the noun can mean nothing else but “ropes of
-ox-hide”—that is to say, the whole expression will signify ropes made
-of well-twisted thongs of leather.</p>
-
-<p>The passage referred to in the <i>Iliad</i> runs as follows:—</p>
-
-<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
-<p class="i0">δῆσε δ᾽ ὀπίσσω χεῖρας εὐτμήτοισιν ἱμᾶσι</p>
-<p class="i0">τοὺς αὐτοὶ φορέεσκον ἐπὶ <span
- class="cambiado"
- title="In the printed book: στρέπτοῖσι"
- id="tn_7">στρεπτοῖσι</span> χιτῶσι.</p>
-</div>
-<p class="dr">[<i>Iliad</i>, xxi., 30.]</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>The subject is the sacrifice of the twelve boys at the funeral of
-Patroclus.</p>
-
-<p>Achilles bound their hands behind them with the well-cut thongs
-which they wore on their twisted chitons. The word ἱμᾶσι implies
-leather, and the only kind of chiton which would be likely to have
-leather thongs attached to it would be a jerkin made of leather,
-perhaps plaited in some way and fastened by means of leather laces.
-Such a<span class="pagenum" id="Page_22">[p. 22]</span> garment
-might be worn in war under a metal breast-plate, or if very stoutly
-made might even serve as defensive armour, without the addition
-of any corslet; in any case, it would afford more protection than
-an ordinary linen chiton such as was worn by those engaged in the
-pursuits of peace.</p>
-
-<p>Another garment worn by men is the ζῶμα, which appears at first
-sight to mean simply a girdle, but in one or two passages signifies
-something more. The word is obviously connected with the verb
-ζώννυμι, “to gird on,” and means a “thing girt on.” The word might
-well apply to a girdle, but it might also be used of anything put
-on round the waist, and so of a waist-cloth; there can be little
-doubt that it has this meaning in <i>Iliad</i>, xxiii., 683, where a
-description is being given of the preparations for a boxing match;
-and a few lines further on the participle ζωσαμένω, applied to the
-wrestlers, in all probability means putting on their waist-cloths. In
-other passages where the word occurs, its meaning is less obvious,
-although here too there is nothing to render the same interpretation
-impossible. In <i>Iliad</i>, iv., 186, a weapon is described as not
-inflicting a mortal wound:</p>
-
-<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
-<p class="i0">εἰρύσατο ζωστήρ τε παναίολος ἠδ᾽ ὑπένερθεν</p>
-<p class="i0">ζῶμά τε καὶ μίτρη, τὴν χαλκῆες κάμον ἄνδρες.</p>
-</div></div>
-
-<p class="ti0">“But the shining belt checked it, and the waist-cloth
-beneath, and the kirtle which the coppersmiths fashioned.”</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_23">[p. 23]</span></p>
-
-<p>Here the ζωστήρ and the μίτρη are obviously pieces of armour, and
-the ζῶμα is a garment worn under the ζωστήρ, and can very well bear
-the meaning of a waist-cloth. Such garments were worn at all periods;
-they formed the regular dress of the men of the pre-Hellenic age;
-they occur also on vases of the classical period.<a id="FNanchor_34"
-href="#Footnote_34" class="fnanchor">[34]</a> There is no necessity,
-therefore, to suppose, as Studniczka does, that the word here is
-synonymous with χιτών. Studniczka supports his interpretation of
-this passage by another, <i>Odyssey</i>, xiv., 478 f., where Eumæus is
-describing to Odysseus an occasion when he and comrades had to sleep
-in the open air, and he felt the cold because he had foolishly left
-his cloak behind him, and had only his shield and ζῶμα φαεινόν. The
-expression could here maintain its signification of “waist-cloth”;
-only, the simple meaning is obscured by a phrase some five lines
-further on, when Eumæus continues:</p>
-
-<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
-<p class="i4">οὐ γὰρ ἔχω χλαῖναν· παρὰ μ᾽ ἤπαφε δαίμων</p>
-<p class="i0">οἰοχίτων᾽ ἔμεναι.</p>
-</div></div>
-
-<p class="ti0">“I had no cloak: some god beguiled me to go with only
-a single garment.”</p>
-
-<p>The simple meaning of οἰοχίτων is, “wearing only a chiton,” or
-under-garment; but without stretching the meaning of the expression
-very far, we can easily suppose its being applied to a man clad only
-in a waist-cloth; so that even here it is not necessary to suppose
-that ζῶμα is another word for χιτών.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_24">[p. 24]</span></p>
-
-<p>We must next consider the over-garment worn by the Homeric heroes,
-for which several words are used, the most common being χλαῖνα and
-φᾶρος.</p>
-
-<p>The χλαῖνα was used not only as an article of dress, but also as
-a blanket to sleep under;<a id="FNanchor_35" href="#Footnote_35"
-class="fnanchor">[35]</a> as a rug to cover couches and seats;<a
-id="FNanchor_36" href="#Footnote_36" class="fnanchor">[36]</a>
-a constant epithet is οὔλη, so that its material was evidently
-woollen; and the adjectives ἀλεξάνεμος and ἀνεμοσκεπής, “warding
-off winds,” show that it was worn for warmth, as a protection
-against cold winds.<a id="FNanchor_37" href="#Footnote_37"
-class="fnanchor">[37]</a> It was thrown off for exercise or when
-speed in running was required.<a id="FNanchor_38" href="#Footnote_38"
-class="fnanchor">[38]</a> The style in which the χλαῖνα was worn
-varied somewhat; the verbs regularly used for the act of putting it
-on are ἀμφιβάλλω and ἀμφιέννυμι, “to throw round”; περιβάλλω also
-occurs, and sometimes it is described as being placed ἐπ᾽ ὤμοισι,
-“upon the shoulders”; for taking it off, ἀποβάλλω and ἀποτίθημι
-are used, and in one case ἐκδύνω occurs, though this word should
-more correctly be applied to the χιτών. The constant use of ἀμφί,
-“around,” shows that the χλαῖνα was not a garment which was drawn on
-over the head, like the χιτών, but was a square or rectangular piece
-of material wrapped round the figure or laid over the shoulders.
-We read in Homer of the χλαῖνα ἁπλοΐς, “single cloak,” and the
-χλαῖνα διπλῆ, “double cloak”; the former expression must mean a
-cloak worn single, without being folded over; such a garment might
-possibly be put on as the himation was in later time, one end<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_25">[p. 25]</span> being laid on the
-shoulder, so that the mass of the material hung down towards the
-back; this mass of material would then be drawn across the back under
-the arm which was then left exposed, and across the chest, and the
-end would be thrown over the shoulder towards the back. The garment
-could easily be drawn up so as to cover both arms if the temperature
-required greater warmth, or it might be worn over both shoulders
-like a shawl, without being doubled, and the frequent mention of
-the shoulders in connection with the χλαῖνα seem to point to this
-style as the most common.<a id="FNanchor_39" href="#Footnote_39"
-class="fnanchor">[39]</a> The χλαῖνα διπλῆ is mentioned twice in
-Homer—once in the <i>Iliad</i> and once in the <i>Odyssey</i>; in both cases it
-is described as being fastened with a brooch:</p>
-
-<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
-<p class="i0">ἀμφὶ δ᾽ ἄρα χλαῖναν περονήσατο φοινικόεσσαν</p>
-<p class="i0">διπλῆν ἐκταδίην.</p>
-</div>
-<p class="dr">[<i>Iliad</i>, x., 133.]</p>
-</div>
-
-<p class="ti0">“And about him he fastened a purple cloak, doubled,
-with no folds.”</p>
-
-<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
-<p class="i0">χλαῖναν πορφυρέην οὐλὴν ἔχε δῖος Ὀδυσσεύς,</p>
-<p class="i0">διπλῆν· αὐτὰρ οἱ περόνη χρυσοῖο τέτυκτο</p>
-<p class="i0">αὐλοῖσιν διδύμοισι.</p>
-</div>
-<p class="dr">[<i>Odyssey</i>, xix., 225.]</p>
-</div>
-
-<p class="ti0">“Goodly Odysseus had a purple cloak, woollen and
-doubled; and it had a brooch wrought of gold, with a double groove
-for the pins.”</p>
-
-<p>In these cases the χλαῖνα was obviously folded over double, though
-in what way is not expressly stated; if the garment consisted of a
-wide rect<span class="pagenum" id="Page_26">[p. 26]</span>angular
-piece of material, it might be doubled along its length horizontally
-and fastened with a brooch on one shoulder, like Apollo’s himation
-in the Thasos relief.<a id="FNanchor_40" href="#Footnote_40"
-class="fnanchor">[40]</a> This method, however, is not found on
-the earliest vases, which, though not contemporary with Homer,
-are yet the nearest monumental evidence obtainable; moreover,
-the additional expression, ἐκταδίην, seems to be against this
-interpretation; the meaning of ἐκταδίην seems to be “stretched out
-straight,” and the word could hardly be applied to a garment draped
-in such a way as to fall in many folds; it is reasonable, therefore,
-to suppose that the χλαῖνα διπλῆ consisted of a large square<a
-id="FNanchor_41" href="#Footnote_41" class="fnanchor">[41]</a> of
-woollen material folded along the diagonal, so that two opposite
-corners lay on each other; it would be laid on the shoulders so
-that these two corners hung down in the middle of the back, no
-folds being formed (ἐκταδίην), and the other two points hung down
-one on each side of the front; a brooch would prevent the cloak
-from slipping off the shoulders; this shawl-like method of wearing
-the mantle is frequently represented on the black figured vases.<a
-id="FNanchor_42" href="#Footnote_42" class="fnanchor">[42]</a> The
-δίπτυχον λώπην, “double cloak,” which Athena wears, ἀμφ᾽ ὤμοισι,
-when disguised as a shepherd,<a id="FNanchor_43" href="#Footnote_43"
-class="fnanchor">[43]</a> is probably a garment worn in this same
-fashion,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_27">[p. 27]</span>
-and the δίπλακες which Helen and Andromache are described as
-weaving in the <i>Iliad</i><a id="FNanchor_44" href="#Footnote_44"
-class="fnanchor">[44]</a> are perhaps intended for cloaks to be so
-worn.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p>The place of the χλαῖνα is frequently taken by the φᾶρος,
-constant epithets of which are καλὸν and μέγα, “fine” and
-“large,” so that we may conclude that the φᾶρος was an ample and
-somewhat luxurious garment. The word is used not only for an
-article of wearing apparel, but also for the shroud of Laertes,<a
-id="FNanchor_45" href="#Footnote_45" class="fnanchor">[45]</a> and
-for the sails of a ship,<a id="FNanchor_46" href="#Footnote_46"
-class="fnanchor">[46]</a> so that Studniczka’s conjecture that it
-was made of linen is probably right, and the difference of material
-probably constitutes the chief distinction between the φᾶρος and
-the χλαῖνα. The φᾶρος is several times described as “white” and
-“well-washed,” and the epithets ἀργυφεόν, λέπτον, χαρίεν, “silvery,”
-“fine,” and “graceful,” which are used of the φᾶρος of Calypso,
-are more applicable to a linen than to a woollen garment. Φᾶρος is
-the only word used in Homer for the dress of both men and women.
-When worn by men, the φᾶρος was in all probability draped in the
-same fashion as the χλαῖνα, but the woman’s φᾶρος would be draped
-differently, as will be shown later.</p>
-
-<p>The χλαῖνα and the φᾶρος were not worn in battle, since they
-would encumber the wearer too much; armour was put on over the
-chiton, or in some cases warriors wore the skin of some wild beast
-slain in combat; we hear, for example, of<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_28">[p. 28]</span> Agamemnon wearing a lion’s skin,<a
-id="FNanchor_47" href="#Footnote_47" class="fnanchor">[47]</a>
-and of Menelaus and Paris wearing leopards’ skins.<a
-id="FNanchor_48" href="#Footnote_48" class="fnanchor">[48]</a>
-A man’s costume was completed by sandals, πέδιλα, which we are
-told were made of leather;<a id="FNanchor_49" href="#Footnote_49"
-class="fnanchor">[49]</a> no mention is made of any head-covering
-worn in the pursuit of peaceful occupations; if any protection were
-needed, a fold of the mantle might easily be drawn up over the
-head; in battle, of course, some kind of helmet was worn, which was
-made usually of bronze, or sometimes of hide,<a id="FNanchor_50"
-href="#Footnote_50" class="fnanchor">[50]</a> covered with boars’
-tusks, such as have been found at Mycenæ.</p>
-
-<p>The women’s dress in Homer consists of two garments, the πέπλος
-and the κρήδεμνον or καλύπτρη, called also in one case the κάλυμμα;<a
-id="FNanchor_51" href="#Footnote_51" class="fnanchor">[51]</a> the
-word ἑανός which is used sometimes as a substantive instead of
-πέπλος, sometimes as an adjective, simply means “something to be
-worn.”</p>
-
-<p>The principal garment of the women was the πέπλος. The derivation
-of the word is uncertain; it is probably connected with some root
-meaning to cover or wrap; the word is used in the <i>Iliad</i> to
-signify things other than dress; for the covering of a chariot<a
-id="FNanchor_52" href="#Footnote_52" class="fnanchor">[52]</a> and
-for the wrappings of the vessel which held the ashes of Hector;<a
-id="FNanchor_53" href="#Footnote_53" class="fnanchor">[53]</a> the
-πέπλος, therefore, like the χλαῖνα and φᾶρος consisted of a square
-or rectangular piece of material which could be used for various
-purposes. When worn as a garment, it was held in place by means
-of brooches<span class="pagenum" id="Page_29">[p. 29]</span> or
-pins (περόναι, ἐνεταί) and a girdle. A passage in the <i>Iliad</i><a
-id="FNanchor_54" href="#Footnote_54" class="fnanchor">[54]</a> gives
-a description of an elaborate toilette made by Hera when she is
-setting out to beguile Zeus:</p>

-<p class="ti0">“Then she clad her in her fragrant robe that Athena

-bright as the sun, and beneath her shining feet she bound goodly
-sandals.”—<span class="smcap">Lang, Leaf, and Myers.</span></p>
-
-<p>We gather from this passage that the garment was fastened on
-the shoulders by brooches or pins inserted, κατὰ στῆθος, which
-Studniczka rightly explains<a id="FNanchor_55" href="#Footnote_55"
-class="fnanchor">[55]</a> as meaning “down towards the breast,” a
-method of fastening which is represented on the<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_30">[p. 30]</span> François vase<a id="FNanchor_56"
-href="#Footnote_56" class="fnanchor">[56]</a> and elsewhere; the
-material is drawn from the back, and wraps over that which covers
-the front; the pins are then inserted downwards, and hold the two
-thicknesses of material together; the dress is held in to the figure
-by a girdle worn round the waist, over which any superfluous length
-of material could be drawn, forming a κόλπος or pouch. No mention
-is made in Homer of the ἀπόπτυγμα, or overfold, which is a common
-feature of the women’s dress in historic times; but from its constant
-appearance on the earliest monuments, it is not unreasonable to
-suppose that it formed an element in women’s costume of the draped
-type from the very earliest times. It is formed by folding over the
-upper edge of the garment before it is put on, in such a way that a
-double thickness of material covers the figure from the neck to a
-distance a little above the waist in front and behind. The original
-purpose of this overfold may have been either to secure greater
-warmth, or to prevent the dress from tearing at the points where the
-brooches were inserted; such a thing might easily happen, if only the
-single stuff were used, since the whole mass of material hung down
-from the two points where it was secured on the shoulders.</p>

-<p>Another question which arises in connection with the Homeric
-peplos is as to whether it was worn open or closed at the side;
-a passage which has been much discussed in this relation is the
-one<span class="pagenum" id="Page_31">[p. 31]</span> which
-describes the peplos given by Antinous to Penelope, with its twelve
-brooches:</p>
-
-<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
-<p class="i0">Ἀντινόῳ μὲν ἔνεικε μέγαν περικαλλέα πέπλον</p>
-<p class="i0">ποικίλον· ἐν δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἔσαν περόναι δυοκαίδεκα πᾶσαι</p>

-</div>
-<p class="dr">[<i>Odyssey</i>, xviii., 292.]</p>
-</div>
-
-<p class="ti0">“For Antinous, his henchman, bare a broidered robe,
-great and very fair, wherein were golden brooches, twelve in all,
-fitted with well-bent clasps.”—<span class="smcap">Butcher and
-Lang.</span></p>
-
-<p>The point in dispute is the purpose of the twelve brooches.
-Studniczka maintains that two were used to fasten the dress on
-the shoulders, and the remaining ten to hold it together down the
-open side; he states in support of this theory that sewing was not
-commonly practised by the Homeric women, although he has previously
-pointed out that the men’s chiton was always sewn; this being the
-case, it is only natural to suppose that the women applied the art
-of sewing to their own garments also where necessary. There is no
-example in early art of a peplos fastened in this way with brooches;
-it is invariably joined round, the seam being covered by a band of
-ornament either woven in the edge of the material or embroidered upon
-it afterwards. In fifth century art we sometimes find representations
-of the peplos worn open down the side; it may have been worn so also
-in Homeric times; if the garment were wide, one edge could easily be
-wrapped over the other and held in place by the girdle, so as not
-to<span class="pagenum" id="Page_32">[p. 32]</span> leave the figure
-too much exposed. It is more probable that the twelve brooches in
-question were used to fasten the dress on the shoulders and down the
-upper arms six on each side, forming a kind of sleeve to the elbow.
-That the ample Ionic chiton was worn in this way in later times
-is manifest from the numerous vase-paintings and other monuments
-of the late sixth and early fifth centuries; it may have been a
-fashion peculiar to the East in Homeric times, but Eastern fashions
-and customs were not unknown to the author of the Homeric poems. We
-read<a id="FNanchor_57" href="#Footnote_57" class="fnanchor">[57]</a>
-of rich robes that were the work of Sidonian women whom Paris brought
-from Sidon, and it is not unlikely that Antinous, wishing to offer
-Penelope some rich gift, would choose a luxurious garment brought
-from the East.</p>
-
-<p>However, we must regard the use of twelve brooches as
-exceptional, and consider that the peplos was ordinarily fastened
-with only two, and with a girdle round the waist. That it was a
-fairly ample garment and trailed on the ground behind, is proved
-by the epithets τανυπέπλος and ἑλκεσιπέπλος, “with trailing
-robes,” frequently applied to women. Athena finds it certainly too
-cumbersome to fight in; for when she is preparing for battle, we
-are told that she lets her peplos slip to the ground, and puts on
-the chiton of her father,<a id="FNanchor_58" href="#Footnote_58"
-class="fnanchor">[58]</a> Zeus. A very constant epithet of the peplos

-question not easy to decide.<a id="FNanchor_60" href="#Footnote_60"

-
-<p>The silver-shining φᾶρος which Calypso puts on<a id="FNanchor_61"
-href="#Footnote_61" class="fnanchor">[61]</a> takes the place of the
-peplos, and was probably worn in the same way,<a id="FNanchor_62"
-href="#Footnote_62" class="fnanchor">[62]</a> with the overfold and
-girdle, over which the superfluous length was drawn, forming the
-κόλπος, or pouch, which varied in depth according to the wearer’s
-fancy. That it was sometimes fairly roomy is proved by the fact
-that the nurse of Eumæus was able to hide three cups ὑπὸ κόλπῳ<a
-id="FNanchor_63" href="#Footnote_63" class="fnanchor">[63]</a> “under
-the folds of her dress.”</p>
-
-<p>The material of which the girdle (ζώνη) was made is uncertain.
-We hear of golden girdles of Calypso and Circe, and of a fringed
-girdle of Hera with a hundred tassels, but these are exceptional. The
-ordinary girdle may have been of metal, or cord, or leather; this
-last material is suggested by the magic κεστὸς ἱμᾶς of Aphrodite,
-which may have been a girdle; or, since we are told that the goddess
-took it ἀπὸ στήθησφιν,<a id="FNanchor_64" href="#Footnote_64"
-class="fnanchor">[64]</a> “from her bosom,” and that Hera received
-it and ἑῷ ἐγκάτθετο κόλπῳ, “put it on her own bosom,” perhaps it
-was something of the nature of Athena’s ægis, which also possessed
-magic power. On a vase in the British Museum<a id="FNanchor_65"
-href="#Footnote_65" class="fnanchor">[65]</a> a god<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_34">[p. 34]</span>dess is represented
-wearing an ægis, and would naturally be interpreted as Athena,
-were it not that the vase-painter has clearly written her name,
-“Aphrodite,” by her side. It has been suggested that he has made a
-slip, and meant to write “Athena”; but in all probability he knew
-what he was doing, and it was his intention to represent Aphrodite
-wearing her κεστὸς ἱμᾶς.</p>
-
-<p>The second garment which was essential to the completion of
-a woman’s dress, at least when she appeared in public, was the
-κρήδεμνον or καλύπτρη,<a id="FNanchor_66" href="#Footnote_66"
-class="fnanchor">[66]</a> which served both as cloak and veil.
-It was probably put on over the shoulders like a shawl, without
-being folded, in such a way that it could be drawn over the head
-without difficulty, and across the face, serving as a veil.<a
-id="FNanchor_67" href="#Footnote_67" class="fnanchor">[67]</a>
-Sometimes it may have been doubled corner to corner diagonally
-and laid on the shoulder. That it was worn over the head is clear
-from <i>Odyssey</i>,
-<span
- class="cambiado"
- title="In the printed book: v., 229"
- id="tn_13">v., 232</span>,
-where Calypso puts on her φᾶρος; κεφαλῇ
-δ᾽ ἐρύπερθε καλύπτρην, “and over her head a veil.” From the
-description of Penelope, when she appears among the suitors “holding
-her shining veil before her cheeks,” we may gather that it was
-customary for women to veil themselves before men.<a id="FNanchor_68"
-href="#Footnote_68" class="fnanchor">[68]</a> No woman would think
-of leaving<span class="pagenum" id="Page_35">[p. 35]</span> the
-house without her κρήδεμνον. Helen, though she quits her house in
-haste, first veils herself with shining linen,<a id="FNanchor_69"
-href="#Footnote_69" class="fnanchor">[69]</a> ἀργεννῇσι καλυψαμένη
-ὀθόνῃσιν, and it is only when they are far from the town and enjoying
-the quietude of the river bank, that Nausicaa and her attendant
-maidens throw off their veils for the ballplay.<a id="FNanchor_70"
-href="#Footnote_70" class="fnanchor">[70]</a></p>
-
-<p>From the constant use of the epithets λιπαρός and λαμπρός,
-“shining” or “bright,” we may infer that the κρήδεμνον was usually
-made of linen, and, in summer at least, it was probably a fine, light
-garment, possibly even semi-transparent. In no case are any pins or
-brooches mentioned in connection with it; and from the ease with
-which it can be slipped off,<a id="FNanchor_71" href="#Footnote_71"
-class="fnanchor">[71]</a> it is reasonable to infer that it was
-worn without fastening of any kind, like a shawl or scarf. In the
-passage where Andromache casts off her head-dress in her anguish
-at the death of Hector,<a id="FNanchor_72" href="#Footnote_72"
-class="fnanchor">[72]</a> Studniczka supposes that because the
-κρήδεμνον is mentioned as falling off last, the other δέσματα must
-have been worn over it and held it in place; this seems to be putting
-a too literal and even prosaic interpretation upon the lines. There
-is no occasion to suppose that the poet enumerated the various parts
-of the head-dress in the order in which they fell; and if we read in
-that spirit, we shall frequently find that the Homeric heroes put
-on their cloaks before their undergarments; for more than once the
-φᾶρος or χλαῖνα is mentioned before the χιτών.<a id="FNanchor_73"
-href="#Footnote_73" class="fnanchor">[73]</a></p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_36">[p. 36]</span></p>
-
-<p>The various parts which composed this head-dress have given rise
-to much discussion. The passage runs:</p>
-
-<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
-<p class="i0">τῆλε δ᾽ ἀπὸ κρατὸς βάλε δέσματα σιγαλόεντα,</p>
-<p class="i0">ἄμπυκα κεκρύφαλόν τε ἰδὲ πλεκτὴν ἀναδέσμην</p>
-<p class="i0">κρήδεμνόν θ᾽.</p>
-</div>
-<p class="dr">[<i>Iliad</i>, xxii., 468.]</p>
-</div>
-
-<p class="ti0">“And far from her head she flung the shining bonds,
-diadem and kerchief, and meshy net and veil.”</p>
-
-<p>The δέσματα σιγαλόεντα are explained by the words which follow,
-and which stand in apposition. No question is raised as to the nature
-of the ἄμπυξ; it was a metal diadem like the στεφάνη, worn across
-the front of the hair. The κρήδεμνον has already been explained; the
-κεκρύφαλος and the πλεκτὴ ἀναδέσμη need some comment. The former is
-sometimes taken to mean a “net,” but it will be shown later that
-this meaning is better applied to the πλεκτὴ ἀναδέσμη; the word
-κεκρύφαλος is obviously connected with the verb κρύπτω to cover,
-and therefore means “something which covers,” “a covering.” In all
-probability, then, the κεκρύφαλος is simply a kerchief worn on top
-of the head behind the ἄμπυξ. The ἀναδέσμη is obviously something
-which serves to bind up (ἀναδέω) the hair and hold it in place, which
-is the proper function of a net. The epithet πλεκτή, which Helbig<a
-id="FNanchor_74" href="#Footnote_74" class="fnanchor">[74]</a> has
-tried to explain as “folded,” means primarily “plaited”; it is
-applied elsewhere in the Homeric poems to baskets,<a id="FNanchor_75"
-href="#Footnote_75" class="fnanchor">[75]</a> which shows its perfect
-appropriateness to the meshes of a net. We<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_37">[p. 37]</span> need give no other meaning, then, to the
-πλεκτὴ ἀναδέσμη, but can easily explain it as a net that confined the
-long hair behind. This completes the head-dress proper, the κρήδεμνον
-being a separate scarf or shawl worn over it.</p>
-
-<p>The women’s dress in Homer is completed by sandals, and for
-ornament they wore, in addition to the brooches which fastened
-their clothes, ear-rings and necklaces of varied workmanship; the
-γναμπταὶ ἕλικες and κάλυκες of which we read<a id="FNanchor_76"
-href="#Footnote_76" class="fnanchor">[76]</a> are perhaps
-spiral-shaped brooches and ear-rings or necklaces in the shape of
-lilies, such as have been found in the later Mycenæan graves.</p>
-
-<p>Few colours are mentioned in Homer in connection with dress.
-The epithets “white” and “shining” are frequently applied to the
-chiton and κρήδεμνον and to the φᾶρος. Φοινικόεις and πορφύρεος are
-frequently used of the χλαῖνα and the δίπλαξ, the former meaning
-“red,” and the latter probably “dark purple”; the word is used also
-of the sea and of clouds. The veil of Thetis<a id="FNanchor_77"
-href="#Footnote_77" class="fnanchor">[77]</a> is described as
-κυάνεος, indigo, probably, or blue-black, since we hear immediately
-afterwards that “no garment ever was blacker.” The dark veil may be
-a sign of mourning; but in any case, the epithet might be used of
-the garments of the sea-goddess, just as κυανοχαίτης, “blue-haired,”
-is applied to Poseidon. Only once is yellow mentioned, and that
-in the case of “saffron robed dawn.” The veil of Hera, that was
-“bright as the sun,”<a id="FNanchor_78" href="#Footnote_78"
-class="fnanchor">[78]</a> might have<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_38">[p. 38]</span> been yellow-gold. Yellow is a favourite
-colour among the Greek peasant women of to-day for the kerchiefs
-with which they cover their heads; and in the clear atmosphere
-and brilliant sunshine of Greece, it is natural to wear bright
-colours.</p>
-
-<p>The embroidered robes of the women would naturally be worked in
-various colours, among which red and blue probably predominated, as
-they do on the sixth century statues on the Acropolis at Athens, and
-also in more modern Greek embroideries.</p>
-
-<p>Enough has been said on the subject of Homeric dress to show that
-it differs entirely from the pre-Hellenic type of costume which
-appears on the monuments from Knossos and elsewhere. The absence of
-contemporary monumental evidence renders it impossible to make any
-very definite statements as to the details of Homeric dress; but the
-poems themselves afford sufficient proof of the fact that it was of
-the draped type, and resembled Greek dress as we know it from the
-monuments dating from historic times; the dress of the classical
-period is simply a development of that described in the Homeric
-poems, with the addition of some foreign elements which blended with
-it and somewhat transformed it in its details, while still preserving
-the main types unaltered.</p>

-we come to the question of Greek dress during the classical period,
-we find that the literary evidence is somewhat scanty; however, in
-addition to the various casual references to dress that are to be
-found chiefly in the plays, there are a few passages which bear
-directly on the historical development of dress in Greece. The most
-important of these is a passage in Herodotus,<a id="FNanchor_79"
-href="#Footnote_79" class="fnanchor">[79]</a> in which he describes
-a disastrous expedition against Ægina undertaken by the Athenians
-during the first half of the sixth century, probably in the year 568
-<small>B.C.</small>; only one man returned alive to Athens, to meet
-with an ignominious death at the hands of the wives of those who had
-perished. Herodotus shall tell the story in his own words:</p>
-
-<blockquote>
-<p>Κομισθεὶς γὰρ ἐς τὰς Ἀθήνας ἀπήγγειλε τὸ πάθος· πυθομένας δὲ τὰς
-γυναῖκας τῶν ἐπ᾽ Αἴγιναν στρατευσαμένων ἄνδρων δεινόν τι ποιησαμένας
-ἐκεῖνον μοῦνον ἐξ ἀπάντων σωθῆναι, πέριξ τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦτον λαβούσας
-καὶ κεντεύσας τῇσι περόνῃσι τῶν ἱματίων εἰρωτᾶν ἑκάστην αὐτέων
-ὅ κῃ εἴη ὁ ἑωυτῆς ἀνήρ. Καὶ τοῦτον μὲν οὕτω διαφθαρῆναι,<span

-Ἑλληνικὴ ἐσθῆς πᾶσα ἡ ἀρχαίη τῶν γυναικῶν ἡ αὐτὴ ἦν τὴν νῦν Δωρίδα
-καλεῦμεν.</p>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p class="ti0">“When he came back to Athens bringing word of the
-calamity, the wives of those who had been sent out on the expedition
-took it sorely to heart, that he alone should have survived the
-slaughter of all the rest; they therefore crowded round the man and
-struck him with the brooches by which their dresses were fastened,
-each, as she struck, asking him where he had left her husband. And
-the man died in this way. The Athenians thought the deed of the women
-more horrible even than the fate of the troops. As, however, they
-did not know how else to punish them, they changed their dress, and
-compelled them to wear the costume of the Ionians. Till this time the
-Athenian women had worn a Dorian dress, shaped nearly like that which
-prevails at Corinth. Henceforth they were made to wear the linen
-tunic, which does not require brooches.</p>
-
-<p>“In very truth, however, this dress is not originally Ionian, but
-Carian; for anciently the Greek women all wore the costume which is
-now called the Dorian.”—<span class="smcap">Rawlinson.</span></p>
-
-<p>He goes on to say that after this the Argive<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_41">[p. 41]</span> and Æginetan women, out of rivalry with
-the Athenians, wore much larger brooches than before.</p>
-
-<p>The importance of the passage is that it tells us of the two
-types of dress worn by Greek women. We learn that down to the early
-years of the sixth century all the Greek women wore the Dorian dress
-fastened with pins of such size and strength that they could become
-dangerous weapons in the hands of women excited by grief or passion.
-Later the Athenian women adopted a different dress, which did not
-need these large pins to fasten it, and which Herodotus calls the
-linen Ionic chiton, afterwards correcting himself and explaining that
-this kind of dress was really Carian in its origin.</p>
-
-<p>The story of the slaying of the sole survivor of the Æginetan
-expedition, and of the punishment meted out to the Athenian women,
-seems in itself far-fetched and highly improbable; but there is
-probably some foundation of truth in it. Possibly the tale was
-invented by Herodotus, or, more probably, was current in his day
-as an explanation of a change in the style of dress which actually
-took place in Athens at the beginning of the sixth century, or more
-probably even earlier. Among the sumptuary laws introduced by Solon
-was one regulating women’s dress, and forbidding them to wear more
-than three garments when they went out to funerals or festivals.<a
-id="FNanchor_80" href="#Footnote_80" class="fnanchor">[80]</a>
-The passing of such a law could only be necessary if the Athenian
-women had already adopted a luxurious and<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_42">[p. 42]</span> extravagant style of dress. Now, the
-essence of the Doric dress, as will be shown later, is simplicity;
-it did not admit of great variety or elaboration. On the other hand,
-that the Ionic dress was somewhat luxurious is clear from Thucydides,
-i., 6; so we may infer that by the time of Solon’s archonship, 594
-<small>B.C.</small>, the Athenian women had already adopted the Ionic
-dress, and had perhaps elaborated it by some modifications added by
-their own invention. If this is so, Herodotus’s story places the
-change at least a generation later than its actual occurrence; but as
-he is writing at a distance of more than a century from the event,
-we need not be surprised if he is a generation or so out in his
-dating.</p>
-
-<p>The simple Doric dress mentioned by Herodotus as being universally
-worn by Greek women down to the sixth century, finds abundant
-illustration in early art, especially in the Attic black-figured
-vases. It consists of a large oblong piece of material, in length
-about 1 ft. more than the height of the wearer, in width about twice
-the distance from elbow to elbow when the wearer’s arms are held out
-horizontally at shoulder level. The additional foot in height is used
-up by folding the upper edge over so that the material is double from
-neck to waist. The garment is put on by folding it round the body and
-pinning it on the shoulders at points a third of the distance from
-the middle line and the edges respectively. A diagram will make the
-arrangement clear.</p>

-<p><i>a</i>, <i>b</i>, <i>c</i>, <i>d</i> represents the original rectangular<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_43">[p. 43]</span> piece of material,
-<i>ab</i> being twice the wearers distance from elbow to elbow—that is
-to say, about 5 ft. 9 in.—<i>ac</i> being 1 ft. more than the wearer’s
-height—namely, about 6 ft. 6 in.</p>
-
-<p>After the upper edge <i>ab</i> has been folded over to a width of about
-1 ft., the dress is pinned on the shoulders at the points <i>e e′</i> and
-<i>f f′</i>; the part which covers the back is drawn slightly forward
-over the front, so that there are four thicknesses of material where
-the pins are inserted; the garment is then girded at the waist, the
-position of which is indicated by the points <i>g</i> and <i>h</i>, and any
-superfluous length is drawn up over the girdle.</p>
-
-<p>The distance between the points <i>a′ f</i>, <i>f e</i>, <i>e′ f′</i>, etc.,
-varies slightly, but is always approximately one-sixth of the whole
-width of the material. In practice, a better effect is produced if
-the width of stuff <i>e′ f′</i>, which covers the back of the neck, is
-shorter than the other sections.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_44">[p. 44]</span></p>

-<p>The garment is usually represented as being sewn up along the
-side, sometimes along the whole length <i>ac</i>, <i>bd</i>, sometimes only
-along the length from the waist to the feet—that is, along the edges
-<i>gc</i>, <i>hd</i>; sometimes it is left open, being held in place only by
-the girdle. On the black-figured vases it is usually the closed Doric
-dress which is represented, probably because it offered the least
-difficulty to a technique which necessarily imposed somewhat close
-limitations on the artists who practised it. A good example is to be
-found in the figures of the Fates from the François vase, which has
-already been quoted in illustration of the Homeric peplos.</p>

-
-<p>A freer and more realistic representation is to be found in the
-sculptured metopes from the temple of Zeus, at Olympia. Athena in
-the metope representing the cleaning of the Augean stables wears
-the closed Doric dress; here the ἀπόπτυγμα, or overfold, falls
-slightly below the waist, and below it the kolpos is clearly visible,
-the slight pouch formed by drawing the superfluous length of the
-material over the girdle.<a id="FNanchor_81" href="#Footnote_81"
-class="fnanchor">[81]</a> On the vases the pouch is almost invariably
-absent, and the girdle is always visible. This is also the case
-in one of the archaic statues on the Acropolis at Athens, where
-the Doric dress is worn over an Ionic chiton. A slight variation
-of the dress is to be seen on the nymph of the Atlas metope at
-Olympia, where the overfold hangs considerably below the waist and
-no girdle or pouch is visible; here the additional length of the
-overfold<span class="pagenum" id="Page_45">[p. 45]</span>
-probably obviated the necessity of a pouch, and the girdle, which is
-hidden, simply served to hold the dress in to the figure. A bronze
-statuette from Herculaneum shows the dress sewn up only from the
-waist downwards (<a href="#fig11">Fig. 11</a>).</p>

-
-<p>As time went on, the dimensions of the Doric dress became more
-ample, or at least were represented so in art; both pouch and
-overfold become deeper and the folds of the garment generally grow
-fuller; the distance of the shoulder pins from the points which
-hang immediately under the arms becomes proportionately larger,
-no longer being an exact sixth of the whole width of the dress.
-The most perfect examples in art of the Doric dress in its full
-development are to be found in the maidens of the Parthenon frieze
-and the Caryatids of the Erechtheum. Here the pouch is emphasized,
-and its graceful curve dipping over the hips, though idealized, is
-at the same time perfectly naturalistic, as can be shown at once by
-practical experiment.</p>
-
-<p>The Munich copy of Cephisodotus’s Eirene holding the infant Plutus
-presents a very good example of the closed Doric dress as it was worn
-in the fourth century; it will be seen that the folds are more ample,
-and the overfold and pouch fall to a distance considerably below the
-waist, so that the garment must be larger than that originally worn,
-if we are to accept early monuments as faithful representations of
-the style of dress actually worn.</p>
-
-<p>The simpler form of the Doric dress, namely, that which is
-unsewn and left open down the side, is<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_46">[p. 46]</span> not found represented in art before
-the fifth century; it becomes fairly common on red-figured vases,
-where it is very frequently depicted ungirt.<a id="FNanchor_82"
-href="#Footnote_82" class="fnanchor">[82]</a> Sometimes it is the
-only garment worn; in other cases it is worn over an under-dress.
-A sculptured example is to be found in an Artemis in Dresden,<a
-id="FNanchor_83" href="#Footnote_83" class="fnanchor">[83]</a>
-for the original of which Furtwängler claims Praxitelean
-authorship. This was probably the dress worn by Laconian girls,
-to whom the term φαινομηρίς, “showing the thigh,” was applied
-by some ancient writers.<a id="FNanchor_84" href="#Footnote_84"

-
-<p>A variety of this dress appears in art about the middle of the
-fifth century; it is sometimes known as the “peplos of Athena,”
-because Pheidias chose it as the style in which to drape his statue
-of the Athena Parthenos. The word “peplos” is usually reserved
-for the Doric dress whether open or closed, the word “chiton” for
-the Ionic, though the latter is frequently applied to the Doric,
-and is invariably used of the under-dress, when the two styles
-became confused. The “peplos of Athena” is similar to the ordinary
-open Doric dress, except that the overfold is longer and reaches
-to the thighs and the girdle is worn over it.<a id="FNanchor_85"
-href="#Footnote_85" class="fnanchor">[85]</a> The material is pulled
-up very slightly over the girdle, but not sufficiently to hide it
-in front, the purpose of the slight pouch being merely to prevent
-the dress from dragging under the arms, and from trailing on the
-ground at the sides. The girdle is at first worn round the<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_47">[p. 47]</span> waist, but later it is
-put on higher, until, on the Athena from the frieze of the altar at
-Pergamon, it is worn immediately under the breasts. The clearest
-representation in art is to be found in the Varvakeion copy of
-the Athena Parthenos, and it occurs also in many representations
-of Athena which were obviously influenced by Pheidias. In
-the Dresden “Lemnia,”<a id="FNanchor_86" href="#Footnote_86"
-class="fnanchor">[86]</a> the girdle is passed not only over
-the overfold, but also round the ægis; in the “torso Medici”<a
-id="FNanchor_87" href="#Footnote_87" class="fnanchor">[87]</a> this
-overgirt peplos is worn over an under-dress of the Ionic type. The
-date of the introduction of this style of wearing the Doric dress is
-a point of some uncertainty. The question arises as to whether it
-was invented by Pheidias or was already commonly worn and adopted by
-him as being most appropriate for his great representation of the
-maiden goddess. Certainly, in sculpture we have no example of it
-before the time of Pheidias, unless we assign an earlier date to the
-little relief of the “mourning Athena,” which seems improbable; the
-Iris of the Parthenon frieze wears it; and among slightly later works
-the Victory of Pæonius at Olympia is a good example, though here the
-dress is slightly varied by being fastened only on one shoulder.
-Further evidence is afforded by the vases, but even these do not give
-any certain proof; the dress does not appear before the middle of

-the invention of the great sculptor’s imagination; it was probably

-<p>It has been mentioned incidentally that the Doric peplos is

-<p>The outer garment worn by women in classical times corresponds
-to the Homeric κρήδεμνον and is called the ἱματίον, although this
-term is applied by Herodotus to the Doric peplos. By derivation the
-word simply means “a piece of clothing,” being connected with εἷμα
-and ἕννυμι. It consisted of a large oblong piece of material about
-7 or 8 feet in length, and in breadth about equal to the wearer’s
-height. Considerable variety was possible<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_49">[p. 49]</span> in the arrangement of it. It could be
-worn both as head covering and cloak, by placing the middle of the
-upper edge over the head and letting the two sides fall down over the
-shoulders like a shawl; it is often so depicted on the vases both
-black- and red-figured; the figure of Eleusis wears it so on the
-Triptolemus vase by Hieron in the British Museum.<a id="FNanchor_90"
-href="#Footnote_90" class="fnanchor">[90]</a> It was frequently
-worn over the shoulders in this fashion without covering the head,
-and could easily be pushed back or drawn up over the head at will.
-A second very common way of arranging the himation was to draw one
-end over the left shoulder from the back towards the front, so that
-it hung down in a point in front, then to pass the mass of material
-across the back and under the right arm and throw the other end over
-the left shoulder again, so that the second point hung down towards
-the back: this was a very common style both for men and women.<a
-id="FNanchor_91" href="#Footnote_91" class="fnanchor">[91]</a> If
-additional warmth were required, it could easily be obtained by
-drawing the cloak up over the right shoulder, so as not to leave the
-right arm and chest exposed. A combination of these two styles is
-seen in some of the Tanagra statuettes, where the himation is put on
-over the head. Both shoulders are covered; but instead of the two
-ends being allowed to hang down symmetrically one on each side of
-the front, one is taken up and thrown over the other shoulder, so
-that the whole figure is covered in the ample folds of the cloak.<a

-<p>A third fashion is somewhat similar to the second, except that
-it leaves the front of the figure exposed to the waist or a little
-below. Instead of being drawn across the chest and thrown over the
-left shoulder, the second end is simply thrown over the forearm
-and held in place by the bend of the elbow.<a id="FNanchor_94"
-href="#Footnote_94" class="fnanchor">[94]</a> A cloak worn in this
-style would be very likely to slip, so another fashion was adopted,
-which produced approximately the same effect, but which prevented
-the possibility of slipping. Instead of throwing the end over the
-left arm, the wearer secured it at the waist under the arm either
-by a brooch or more probably by simply tucking it under the girdle.
-To prevent the garment from hanging down too low and dragging on
-the ground, a large corner was usually doubled over before it was
-secured at the waist. The part thus fastened was sometimes passed
-over the end which hung down from the left shoulder, sometimes under
-it. The himation is so worn by Mausolus and Artemisia in<span

-<p>On many of the monuments of the Pheidian period and the time
-immediately preceding it, we find that the Doric peplos is worn alone
-or with a small cloak or shawl laid on the shoulders and hanging down
-the back, as in the case of the maidens carrying sacrificial vessels
-on the Parthenon frieze. This small shawl was perhaps worn more for
-ornament than for the sake of warmth, and an ample peplos of warm
-woollen material might be found sufficient protection.</p>
-
-<p>It may be objected that in the majority of the examples chosen as
-illustrations the himation is worn not over the Doric peplos, but
-over the Ionic chiton, and it has indeed been sometimes regarded as
-an element of the Ionic dress rather than of the Doric.</p>
-
-<p>It does, however, appear over the Doric peplos, <i>e.g.</i>, in <a
-href="#fig18">Fig. 18</a> and on many black-figured Attic vases,<a
-id="FNanchor_96" href="#Footnote_96" class="fnanchor">[96]</a> and it
-is not difficult to trace its development from the Homeric κρήδεμνον
-worn symmetrically over the head and shoulders. It is an easy step
-in advance to throw one end of the cloak over the opposite shoulder,
-push it back off the head, and bring one arm out free instead of
-letting it remain covered. <a href="#fig15">Fig. 15</a> might serve
-to illustrate an intermediate stage between those represented in
-Figs. <a href="#fig14">14</a> and <a href="#fig17">17</a>.</p>
-
-<p>An attempt will be made later to show that the<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_52">[p. 52]</span> Ionic himation was
-fastened with brooches, and had a different development. The wearing
-of the unpinned himation over the Ionic chiton is an instance of the
-blending of Doric and Ionic dress.</p>
-
-<p>The Doric dress of men was similar to that of women, both with
-regard to under-dress and cloak. The name χιτών is used for the
-under-dress, as it was in Homer, the word peplos being restricted to
-women’s garments. The outer garment of men as well as of women is
-called the himation.</p>
-
-<p>The Doric men’s chiton is fastened by brooches on the shoulders
-and girt in at the waist. It was a short garment reaching midway
-down the thighs, or to a distance just above the knees, had no
-overfold, and was narrower than the women’s peplos. No kolpos was
-worn, there being no superfluous length to dispose of. The side was
-sewn up so that the garment before being pinned was cylindrical in
-shape. This somewhat scanty garment was the only one worn by slaves,
-and men engaged in active pursuits and workmen frequently wore it
-fastened only on one shoulder, leaving the other bare and the arm
-quite free. When worn in this way it was called the χιτὼν ἔξωμις or
-ἑτερομάσχαλος; the god Hephaistos is usually represented wearing it
-in this way in his capacity as craftsman. We learn from Pollux, vii.,
-47, that the ἔξωμις was a περιβλῆμα as well as an ἔνδυμα, from which
-we may gather that a small cloak was sometimes worn fastened on one
-shoulder and girt round the waist, but left unsewn down the side.
-<a href="#fig19">Fig. 19</a> represents the χιτὼν ἔξωμις.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_53">[p. 53]</span></p>
-
-<p>Representations of Amazons and of Artemis the huntress are
-frequent, wearing the χιτὼν ἔξωμις; but in these cases it is usually
-a longer garment than that worn by men, and its superfluous length
-is drawn up over the girdle, forming a pouch; and then a second
-girdle is worn over this to prevent it from flapping in the wind.
-The Amazons of the Mausoleum frieze wear the short Doric dress
-without overfold and unsewn down the side; this, however, is perhaps
-merely a device on the part of the sculptor to afford an opportunity
-of displaying the physical forms, as well as the drapery. Various
-references in literature show that the Spartan women wore more
-scanty clothing than the Athenians; they are described as μονοχίτων,
-“wearing a single garment,” and we learn from Pausanias that the
-girls who competed in the running races at Olympia wore the short
-χιτὼν ἔξωμις. As monumental testimony to the truth of this statement,
-we have the statue of a girl runner in the Vatican Museum.</p>

-<p>The τρίβων worn by Spartans and people of austere or Laconizing
-tendencies, like Socrates and the Cynic philosophers, was probably
-a scanty Doric chiton made in some coarse homespun material; men
-of leisure and elderly men preferred to wear a longer chiton with
-sleeves either sewn or fastened with brooches; this was the case even
-after the reaction against anything savouring of Orientalism which
-followed the Persian wars. If we are to consider the monuments, both
-sculpture and vases, as giving a realistic picture of Greek life,
-we<span class="pagenum" id="Page_54">[p. 54]</span> shall see that
-men frequently wore only the himation; but it is difficult to believe
-that this was so, except, perhaps, in the height of summer.</p>
-
-<p>The methods of draping the himation were the same for men as for
-women, except that after the period of the early black-figured vases
-we do not find men represented wearing it laid on both shoulders like
-a shawl; nor do they ever wear it drawn up over the head, although in
-the sunshine of a southern summer some such protection against the
-heat might be considered indispensable. The favourite style for men
-was that of laying the one end on the left shoulder and drawing the
-rest round the body from the back and throwing the other end either
-across the left forearm or over the shoulder.<a id="FNanchor_97"
-href="#Footnote_97" class="fnanchor">[97]</a> This was called wearing
-the himation ἐπὶ δεξιὰ, presumably because it was drawn closely
-round the right side of the body. It was considered a mark of good
-breeding to throw it over the shoulder and let it hang down in
-such a way as to cover the left arm completely.<a id="FNanchor_98"
-href="#Footnote_98" class="fnanchor">[98]</a> To wear it ἐπ᾽
-ἀριστέρα, “over the left side,” was a mark of boorishness,
-as we gather from Aristophanes <i>Birds</i>,<a id="FNanchor_99"
-href="#Footnote_99" class="fnanchor">[99]</a> where Poseidon taunts
-the barbarian Triballus for wearing it so.</p>

-<p>Another variety of over-garment worn by men is the χλάμυς,
-a cloak used for riding or travelling. It is considered to be
-of Macedonian origin,<a id="FNanchor_100" href="#Footnote_100"
-class="fnanchor">[100]</a> another form of it being the ζειρά, a
-rough Thracian riding<span class="pagenum" id="Page_55">[p.
-55]</span>-cloak sometimes depicted on Greek vases.<a
-id="FNanchor_101" href="#Footnote_101" class="fnanchor">[101]</a>
-It was probably brought into Greece from the north by the Dorian
-invaders when they came down, and in its origin may have been
-no different from the Homeric χλαῖνα. In classical times it was
-always worn over the short chiton by travellers and riders, and
-was the characteristic dress of Ephebi.<a id="FNanchor_102"
-href="#Footnote_102" class="fnanchor">[102]</a> The Parthenon frieze
-affords abundant illustration of the way in which it was worn. Like
-the himation, it consisted of a rectangular piece of material,
-but was of a slightly different shape, being rather more oblong;
-in fact, when doubled it would form almost a perfect square. Its
-normal dimensions would be about 6 to 7 feet long by 3½ feet wide.
-In putting it on, the wearer would double it round him and stand
-inside it, so that the middle line came along the back of the left
-arm and shoulder; he would<span class="pagenum" id="Page_56">[p.
-56]</span> then fasten the two sides together with a brooch on the
-right shoulder, close to the neck, at the points <i>e</i> and <i>f</i> in the
-accompanying diagram; the corners <i>d</i> and <i>b</i> would hang down in
-front and behind respectively at a distance of about 1 foot from the
-ground, and the corners <i>a</i> and <i>c</i> would hang down together along
-the right side; the left arm which held the reins in riding would
-thus be covered, while the right would be free to hold spear or whip.
-The left could easily be freed also by swinging the cloak round so
-that the brooch came under the chin instead of on the shoulder; the
-two corners <i>a</i> and <i>c</i> could then be thrown back over the arms. The
-χλάμυς is frequently represented in art worn in this way, especially
-in cases where the wearer is occupied in vigorous action.</p>

-
-<p class="ti0"><span class="smcap">We</span> must now turn
-to a consideration of the Ionic dress, which Herodotus tells
-us was adopted by the Athenian women in the sixth century
-<small>B.C.</small> According to his account, it was Carian
-in its origin; our knowledge of the Carians is somewhat vague
-and indefinite. We learn from Thucydides<a id="FNanchor_103"
-href="#Footnote_103" class="fnanchor">[103]</a> that they originally
-inhabited the Cyclades, but were driven out by Minos of Crete;
-and a little later on<a id="FNanchor_104" href="#Footnote_104"
-class="fnanchor">[104]</a> he speaks of them, together with
-the Phœnicians, as islanders who practised piracy. Herodotus<a
-id="FNanchor_105" href="#Footnote_105" class="fnanchor">[105]</a>
-gives a slightly different account, saying that the Carian
-inhabitants of the islands were subjected by Minos and used by him
-to man his ships, and were not driven out until later by the Dorian
-and Ionian immigrants. He also mentions the belief of the Carians
-themselves that they were autochthonous in Caria, and attributes to
-them various inventions afterwards adopted by the Greeks. According
-to Thucydides, their method of burying the dead seems to have
-differed from that of the Greeks; and from the various accounts of
-the two historians,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_58">[p. 58]</span>
-we may gather that their race was different, although possibly they
-were soon hellenized by their Ionian neighbours. If, as Herodotus
-tells us, the Greeks adopted some Carian inventions, it is not
-unlikely that they may also have adopted the Carian dress, or at
-least may have modified their own by assuming some Carian elements.<a
-id="FNanchor_106" href="#Footnote_106" class="fnanchor">[106]</a></p>
-
-<p>In his account of the assumption of the Ionic dress by the
-Athenians, Herodotus speaks only of the women; but we know that it
-was worn by men also, partly from the evidence of the monuments
-and partly from Thucydides, who tells us<a id="FNanchor_107"
-href="#Footnote_107" class="fnanchor">[107]</a> that not long
-previously to the time at which he is writing the elder men of
-the wealthy classes gave up wearing linen chitons and fastening
-their hair with the τέττιξ, “cicala,” a luxurious mode of dress
-common to them and their kinsfolk the Ionians. The Ionic dress was
-probably discarded by the Athenians shortly after the outbreak of
-the Persian war, when a reaction set in against Orientalism and
-a tendency towards greater simplicity began to manifest itself;
-Thucydides is writing more than a generation after the Persian wars,
-but his expression, οὐ πολὺς χρόνος, “no great length of time,” is
-sufficiently vague, and he probably recollected the change which took
-place in his youthful days; moreover, he speaks only of the elder
-men of the wealthy classes, who would naturally be of conserva<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_59">[p. 59]</span>tive tendencies and the
-last to adopt any change in their mode of life or dress. The exact
-period at which the Athenians adopted the Ionic dress is unknown; the
-Æginetan expedition of 568 <span class="smcap">B.C.</span>, of which
-Herodotus makes use in dating the change, is too late, for we know
-that already in Solon’s days luxury in dress had reached such a pitch
-as to necessitate the passing of a sumptuary law to regulate it, and
-such luxury could hardly have been reached so long as the simple
-Doric dress was retained. It may not be unreasonable to assume, then,
-that constant intercourse with the Ionians in the islands on the
-coast of Asia Minor led the Athenians to adopt their dress at some
-time towards the end of the seventh century.</p>

-<p>The Ionic chiton differed from the Doric in length, material,
-and method of fastening. We read in Homer already of the Ἰάωνες
-<span
- class="cambiado"
- title="In the printed book: ἑλκεχίτῶνες"
- id="tn_14">ἑλκεχίτωνες</span>,
-“long-robed Ionians,” and Pollux tells us of the
-λινοῦς χιτών ὅν Ἀθηναίοι ἐφόρουν ποδήρη, καὶ αὖθις Ἴωνες,<a
-id="FNanchor_108" href="#Footnote_108" class="fnanchor">[108]</a>
-“the linen tunic which the Athenians wore reaching to the feet, and
-the Ionians too.” This χιτών ποδήρης is a long chiton reaching to
-the feet; that its material was linen is testified by Thucydides
-and Pollux, as well as other writers.<a id="FNanchor_109"
-href="#Footnote_109" class="fnanchor">[109]</a> The story of
-Herodotus shows that its fastening was different from that of
-the Doric, since the Athenian women were forced to adopt it, ἱνα
-δὴ περόνῃσι μὴ χρεώνται, “so as not to<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_60">[p. 60]</span> need brooches.” This expression is
-usually taken to mean that the characteristic difference between the
-Doric and Ionic chitons is, that the Doric is fastened by means of
-pins or brooches, the Ionic is always sewn on the shoulders. That
-this is not invariably the case is proved by many examples both in
-sculpture and vase-painting, where a chiton is represented, which,
-from its length and fulness and the fine texture of its material,
-is clearly Ionic, but which is not sewn on the shoulders, but
-fastened together down the upper arm by a series of small round
-brooches; this fastening forms a kind of loose sleeve which reaches
-frequently to the elbow. It is the formation of this sleeve, whether
-sewn or pinned, which, apart from size or material, distinguishes
-the Ionic from the Doric chiton, which is sleeveless. The Ionic
-chiton in its simplest form is cylindrical in shape, and varies
-considerably in length, but is always longer than the height of
-the wearer; the superfluous length is drawn up through the girdle
-to form a kolpos, which varies in depth according to the length
-of the chiton. The Mænad vase of Hieron gives a good idea of the
-size to which this kolpos sometimes attained.<a id="FNanchor_110"
-href="#Footnote_110" class="fnanchor">[110]</a> Being made of a
-fine linen material, the Ionic chiton is naturally fuller than the
-coarser woollen Doric garment, and its folds are consequently more
-numerous and more delicate; it is the greater width of the garment
-which necessitates the formation of the sleeve, as a single fastening
-from the shoulder<span class="pagenum" id="Page_61">[p. 61]</span>
-would leave too great a mass of material hanging down under the
-arms. The sleeve is made by joining the two top edges of the garment
-together and gathering them up so as to form regular folds; an
-opening is left in the middle for the neck and one at each end for
-the arms. The arm-holes were probably not formed, as some believe,
-by lateral openings in the side-seams, since this method produces a
-clumsy effect in practice; and moreover, in many vase-paintings<a
-id="FNanchor_111" href="#Footnote_111" class="fnanchor">[111]</a> the
-ornamental border which runs along the neck and upper arm passes also
-round the arms without being continued down the side, which shows
-that it was embroidered or woven along the top edge of the chiton
-before the sleeves were made.</p>

-<p>A diagram will best show how the sleeves were formed, and the
-position of the openings for neck and arms: <i>ab</i> represents the upper
-edge of the chiton, along which a border is frequently woven or
-embroidered; <i>ef</i> represents the space for the neck, through which
-the head is thrust; <i>ad</i> and <i>bc</i> represent the arm-holes, which
-hang down parallel to the wearer’s sides when the arms are held down
-in a normal position; the side-seams <i>ag</i> and <i>bh</i> are sewn along
-their whole length; the distances <i>de</i> <i>fc</i> are<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_62">[p. 62]</span> joined and gathered to form the full
-sleeve. The fulness is frequently held close to the figure by the
-addition of cross-bands, either crossing both in front and behind
-and attached to the girdle at the sides, or crossing only at the
-back and passing round the front of the shoulders. A very excellent
-sculptured representation of this, the simplest form of the Ionic
-chiton, is to be found in the famous Delphi charioteer, where the
-gathering of the sleeves is very clearly marked.<a id="FNanchor_112"
-href="#Footnote_112" class="fnanchor">[112]</a> In cases where the
-sleeve is not sewn, the spaces <i>de</i> and <i>fc</i> are joined by a series
-of brooches, varying in number from four to six on each side. The
-fulness is produced by taking up a little group of folds at each
-fastening and leaving the spaces between quite plain; the two edges
-are usually parted in these spaces, so as to show the arm through.
-These groups of folds are perhaps more effective than the continuous
-row of gathers which we get with the sewn sleeve. The Euxitheos
-vase reproduced above<a id="FNanchor_113" href="#Footnote_113"
-class="fnanchor">[113]</a> will furnish an illustration of the
-chiton with pinned sleeves. A short chiton, with sleeves pinned in
-several places, was frequently worn by men, as is proved by many
-vase-paintings. We sometimes find women represented wearing a full
-chiton without overfold, fastened only once on each shoulder, like
-the Doric dress. This is one of the many modifications which the
-Ionic dress underwent when introduced into the mainland of Greece.
-We frequently find on vases figures in rapid motion wearing the
-long Ionic<span class="pagenum" id="Page_63">[p. 63]</span>
-chiton with many folds, represented by fine close lines, in which
-the lower edge of the chiton in front is drawn up to an angle on one
-or often more places. It was supposed by Böhlau<a id="FNanchor_114"
-href="#Footnote_114" class="fnanchor">[114]</a> that this was
-meant to indicate that the garment had been cut at the bottom in
-a series of points. The object of this cutting is difficult to
-see, and on examination it will be found that wherever the lower
-edge of the chiton is so drawn up, immediately above it the kolpos
-hangs down deeper over the girdle; the figures are usually in rapid
-motion, and the lower edge of the back of the garment, which shows
-behind the feet, is represented by a continuous curve, without
-being drawn up anywhere.<a id="FNanchor_115" href="#Footnote_115"
-class="fnanchor">[115]</a> It is obvious, then, that the artist
-intended to indicate that the wearer had drawn the dress up through
-the girdle, so as not to impede progress. Anyone who has ever moved
-about freely wearing a chiton of this kind, will know that unless the
-girdle is uncomfortably tight the dress has a habit of slipping down,
-so that it is necessary to pull it up sometimes, so as to prevent
-treading on it in front.</p>

-
-<p>A feature of the Ionic chiton not very easy to understand is the
-overfold, which occurs very frequently, especially in vase-paintings
-of the severe red-figured class; it is not a normal feature of
-the Ionic chiton, and may very possibly have been added by the
-Athenian women when they adopted the dress, since they had always
-been accustomed to wearing it with the Doric peplos. The view<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_64">[p. 64]</span> that Herodotus (v., 87)
-is wrong, and that the Athenian women never wore the Doric dress at
-all, is hardly tenable in the face of such evidence as the François
-vase and others like it, which are certainly of Attic workmanship.</p>
-
-<p>The Ionic chiton with overfold is really, then, an instance of the
-blending of the two types of dress, which later became so complete
-that it is frequently difficult to decide whether a particular
-garment should more correctly be called Doric or Ionic.</p>
-
-<p>In some instances the overfold of the Ionic chiton is formed
-in exactly the same way as that of the Doric dress, only it is
-frequently shorter: it is turned over before the garment is put on,
-then back and front are fastened together along the arm, either by
-sewing or by brooches. In this latter case the only distinction from
-the Doric dress, in addition to those of size and material, is that
-instead of being pinned only once on each shoulder, and so being
-sleeveless, it is pinned along from shoulder to elbow, so as to form
-sleeves. An example of this is to be seen in a figure of Aphrodite
-from a vase-painting in Paris reproduced by Miss Harrison.<a
-id="FNanchor_116" href="#Footnote_116" class="fnanchor">[116]</a>
-This style of dress, with the sleeves sewn instead of pinned,
-is found on the first of the so-called Fates of the Parthenon
-pediment, and on one of the Nereids from the Nereid monument, on
-a torso at Epidaurus, and on many vase-paintings. Although not
-always represented in art, shoulder-cords or cross-bands were
-probably actually worn with this dress, as a<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_65">[p. 65]</span> general rule, since without some such
-contrivance it would slip inconveniently.</p>

-
-<p>A type of dress very commonly found on vases is that which has
-full sleeves to the elbow and an overfold covering the chest and
-back, and passing under the arms without covering the sleeves,
-as was the case in the chiton described above. The Mænads on the
-famous Hieron vase are represented wearing this kind of dress, and
-numerous examples could be quoted from other vase-paintings.<a
-id="FNanchor_117" href="#Footnote_117" class="fnanchor">[117]</a>
-Some such effect might be produced with the ordinary
-cylindrical-shaped chiton with overfold, if shoulder-bands were
-worn such as those worn by the Delphi Charioteer and by one of the
-so-called Fates of the east pediment of the Parthenon; but in actual
-practice such an arrangement would produce a somewhat clumsy mass
-of folds under the arm, and could not be managed at all unless the
-overfold were considerably deeper than that usually represented on
-the vases. We must look, therefore, for some other explanation; and
-it will not be far to seek, if we allow the Ionian women and their
-Athenian imitators a freer use of scissors and needle than their
-Doric sisters were accustomed to make. A close examination of the
-monuments will show that although the sleeve of the Ionic chiton was
-frequently formed in the manner described above, yet in a very large
-number of cases, in almost all of which the overfold is present,
-the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_66">[p. 66]</span>sleeve is
-more like our modern notion of a sleeve—that is to say, it fits
-closer to the arm, as though shaped to some extent, while the
-rest of the garment fits closer to the figure. The vase-painter
-Brygos is fond of depicting women in this kind of dress: the
-accompanying illustration<a id="FNanchor_118" href="#Footnote_118"
-class="fnanchor">[118]</a> is taken from his representation of Hera
-and Iris pursued by Silenoi. This dress is obviously not composed
-simply of a cylindrical piece of material folded over at the top and
-fastened on the arms, for the rather deep overfold leaves the sleeves
-quite free, and covers only the body of the wearer. This effect could
-be produced in two ways, in both of which, however, the sleeve-pieces
-must be sewn in separately. In the first method, we may suppose that
-two rectangular pieces of material are taken, equal in size and
-shape, represented in the diagram as <i>abcd</i>.</p>
-
-<div class="figleft" id="fig30">
- <img src="images/fig30.jpg"
- alt="Illustration: Diagram of the Sleeved Chiton with Overfold"
- title="Fig. 30. Diagram of the Sleeved Chiton with Overfold." />
- <p class="caption"><span class="smcap">Fig. 30.</span></p>
-</div>
-
-<p>These are sewn together along the sides up to the points <i>e</i> and
-<i>f</i> at a distance of about 5 feet from the lower edge; when the dress
-is worn, these points will come immediately under the arms. We may
-next suppose that two rectangular pieces of material measuring about
-18 by 20 inches are taken<span class="pagenum" id="Page_67">[p.
-67]</span> for the sleeves; these are folded double, so that the
-longer sides lie upon each other, and then sewn on to the body of
-the chiton at the points <i>f</i>, <i>h</i>, <i>g</i>, and <i>e</i>, so that the fold
-lies in the position indicated by the lines <i>fl</i> and <i>el′</i> in the
-diagram; the openings <i>kl</i> and <i>k′l′</i> will form the arm-holes; that
-part of the chiton <i>abgh</i> which still extends above the sleeve-pieces
-is then folded over, so that it hangs down in the position <i>gha′b′</i>.
-The line <i>kk′</i> now represents the upper edges of the garment, which
-are fastened together (leaving the space <i>mn</i> for the neck) either by
-sewing and gathering or by groups of folds held in place by a series
-of brooches. The front and back part of the overfold would then hang
-down separately, but they could be joined together under the arms,
-provided that the space round the shoulder were left free for the arm
-to pass through into the sleeve.</p>
-
-<p>The second method of making this dress is nothing but a
-modification of the first. It consists of taking two smaller
-rectangles in the first place, <i>ghcd</i>, to form the body of the
-chiton; two pieces <i>abgh</i> are sewn on back and front, after the
-sleeve-pieces, to form a sort of false overfold, which will have
-exactly the same effect as if it were in one piece with the rest of
-the chiton.</p>
-
-<p>It is possible to conceive of the sleeve-pieces being originally
-in one piece with the rest of the chiton, which would then be a
-dress composed of two cross-shaped pieces of material sewn together
-along the edges <i>dfl</i> and <i>cel′</i>; it is more reasonable<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_68">[p. 68]</span> to suppose, however, that
-the sleeve-pieces were sewn on separately. That such sleeve-pieces
-were attached to the ordinary Ionic chiton without overfold seems
-likely from many vase-paintings. The addition of sleeves was
-certainly not unfamiliar to the Greeks, for we find slaves wearing
-a narrow, ungirt chiton, with tight sleeves reaching to the wrists.
-A familiar example of this is to be found in Hegeso’s attendant
-on the well-known grave relief in Athens. In an inscription,
-dating from the middle of the fourth century,<a id="FNanchor_119"
-href="#Footnote_119" class="fnanchor">[119]</a> and recording a large
-number of garments dedicated to Artemis Brauronia, the expression
-χειριδωτός occurs, which can only mean “sleeved.” In the same
-inscription special mention is frequently made of the fact that the
-chiton, or χιτωνίσκος, is ἐμπλαισίῳ, “oblong,” from which we may
-infer that it was not always so. Now, the ordinary simple Ionic
-chiton would be oblong in shape when not worn, so that we may take
-the others, which are not described as oblong, to be chitons with
-separate sleeve-pieces attached.</p>
-
-<p>The false overfold was sometimes attached also to the simple
-cylindrical Ionic chiton. In these cases it covered the chest only,
-leaving the arms covered only by the sleeves; it was probably
-simply sewn on at the neck in front only. Kalkmann has collected
-and stated the evidence for this false overfold to the chiton in
-an article in the <i>Jahrbuch</i>, vol. xi., where he shows that it
-was sometimes applied to<span class="pagenum" id="Page_69">[p.
-69]</span> the over-garment also. Very clear examples of it are to
-be seen in some of the archaic female statues on the Acropolis at
-Athens, especially in those cases where the himation is worn like a
-shawl over both shoulders.<a id="FNanchor_120" href="#Footnote_120"
-class="fnanchor">[120]</a></p>
-
-<p>That the long Ionic chiton with sleeves was worn by men as well as
-women, is abundantly evident from the monuments. On the vases, Zeus
-and Dionysus and other gods are almost invariably represented wearing
-it; and in sculpture also, kings, priests, and others are represented
-so dressed. Together with the himation, it probably constituted a
-sort of state dress for priests and other officials, even after it
-had been discarded for daily use, as being too luxurious.</p>
-
-<p>A short chiton, with or without sleeves, and made of some fine
-material, is to be found on the vases worn by men engaged in active
-pursuits. It sometimes has an overfold; although, with the long
-chiton, this feature is usually confined to women. A good example of
-the men’s short chiton with overfold is to be seen on the vase of
-Brygos representing the exploits of Theseus.</p>
-
-<p>The cross-bands and shoulder-cords already mentioned are, strictly
-speaking, an element of the Ionic chiton, though they are sometimes
-represented in art over the Doric peplos. Their object is to hold the
-ample folds of the full chiton close to the figure, and to prevent
-the sleeves from slipping or flapping about with every movement of
-the wearer. The<span class="pagenum" id="Page_70">[p. 70]</span>
-cross-bands are usually attached to the girdle and can be of one
-piece with it; their place is sometimes taken by a second girdle,
-worn rather high over the kolpos, as is the case with the Artemis of
-Gabii reproduced below (<a href="#fig37">Fig. 37</a>).</p>
-
-<p>This high girdle was known as the ταινία, or ἀποδέσμος, whereas
-the low girdle was called περιζῶμα. A broad band, known as the
-στρόφιον, was sometimes worn by women under the breasts, to serve the
-purpose of modern corsets.<a id="FNanchor_121" href="#Footnote_121"
-class="fnanchor">[121]</a></p>
-
-<p>A word or two must be said about the diminutives of χιτών—namely,
-χιτώνιον, χιτωνάριον, and χιτωνίσκος. We should naturally expect the
-words to mean a small or short chiton, but this does not seem always
-to be the case. The χιτώνιον and χιτωνάριον are frequently described
-as διαφανές, “transparent,”<a id="FNanchor_122" href="#Footnote_122"
-class="fnanchor">[122]</a> and Eustathius (iii., 1166) explains
-the words as referring to a fine and luxurious dress worn by
-women. In the inscription to Artemis Brauronia<a id="FNanchor_123"
-href="#Footnote_123" class="fnanchor">[123]</a> we read more than
-once of a χιτώνιον ἀμοργῖνον—that is, a garment made of linen
-from Amorgos, which we know was very fine and expensive; we may
-infer, then, that the diminutives χιτώνιον and χιτωνάριον refer
-to fineness of material rather than to shortness of cut. The case
-of the χιτωνίσκος is somewhat different; it is not referred to as
-being transparent, and is usually described in the inscription
-cited above as being very ornate. Women are frequently repre<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_71">[p. 71]</span>sented on vases<a
-id="FNanchor_124" href="#Footnote_124" class="fnanchor">[124]</a>
-wearing over the long Ionic chiton a short and sometimes very ornate
-garment, which cannot be described as a himation. Possibly this
-short over-chiton is the garment indicated by the name χιτωνίσκος.<a
-id="FNanchor_125" href="#Footnote_125" class="fnanchor">[125]</a>
-A similar garment was worn by musicians over the long ungirt
-chiton (ὀρθοστάδιος).<a id="FNanchor_126" href="#Footnote_126"
-class="fnanchor">[126]</a> Another instance of a special dress worn
-for a special purpose is the costume worn by actors; it had long
-sleeves, and was probably padded to complete the impression of
-increased size produced by the high masks and buskins.</p>
-
-<p>The himation worn over the Ionic chiton presents considerable
-variety of shape and arrangement. In very many cases we find that
-the Doric himation is worn, whether over both shoulders or only over
-one. In the Harpy monument, where we might have looked for Ionic
-dress in its purest form, we find the Doric himation worn over the
-fine linen-sleeved chiton, and on very many of the red-figured vases
-of the severe style this is the case. There is one set of monuments,
-however, which may be considered as Ionic in origin, or at least of
-Ionizing tendencies, where a far less simple garment takes the place
-of the Doric himation. This set includes the archaic female statues
-and flying victories of the Acropolis Museum at Athens, and a large
-number of small painted terra-cotta statuettes<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_72">[p. 72]</span> in the same museum, the sculptures of the
-Treasury of the Cnidians at Delphi, and a number of other statues
-and reliefs from Athens, Eleusis, Delos, and elsewhere. The dress
-presents a somewhat complicated appearance at first sight, and has
-given rise to a considerable amount of discussion. The following
-section is based upon a careful study of the original monuments and
-of the literature already written on the subject.</p>

-<p class="ti0"><span class="smcap">The</span>
-problem of the drapery of the archaic female figures in the Acropolis
-Museum has been considered by various archæologists, but has not
-yet been satisfactorily solved in all its details by any of them.
-The questions to be decided are: Firstly, are we to suppose that
-the draperies of the statues give us a faithful and realistic
-reproduction of a costume actually in fashion among the Athenian
-ladies at the close of the sixth century, or must we take into
-account the fact that the work is still archaic and the artists have
-not yet sufficiently mastered their material to be able to reproduce
-exactly what they saw before them? Secondly, what are the separate
-garments which constitute the elaborately complicated whole? And
-thirdly, how are these garments arranged so as to produce the effect
-seen in the statues?</p>
-
-<p>The answer to our first question is to be found in a compromise
-lying somewhere between the two hypotheses suggested. The early
-artist, struggling<span class="pagenum" id="Page_74">[p. 74]</span>
-with the technical difficulties of his art, is always ready, as soon
-as he has solved one problem to his satisfaction, to pass on to
-something which presents still greater difficulties and demands the
-exercise of still greater skill. The makers of the Acropolis maidens
-have advanced so far as to be able to infuse some sort of life into
-their work;—witness the lively expression on some of the faces.
-Moreover, in the modelling of some parts of the human figure they
-have reached a high degree of excellence. In the few cases in which
-the feet of the statues are preserved, a great degree of delicacy and
-refinement is displayed, which shows that the artists had attained
-some considerable power over their material. Having advanced so far,
-they feel themselves equal to facing the problem of representing
-drapery in sculpture. It is not to be supposed that at this stage of
-artistic development they would invent difficulties which did not
-naturally present themselves, nor would they attempt to represent
-anything that they had not actually seen; therefore, we must conclude
-that the Athenian ladies of the period actually wore a dress
-corresponding closely to that reproduced in art. At the same time,
-it must be remembered that the Greek artist in all probability did
-not work with a model constantly before him, so that we must expect
-some slight differences in detail on that account; furthermore,
-we must make some allowance for archaism; for example, in all the
-statues under discussion, the drapery does not fall freely away from
-the figure,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_75">[p. 75]</span> but
-follows the lines of the form beneath in a manner impossible in real
-life.</p>

-
-<p>Having determined that the artists have represented a dress which
-was actually worn, we must proceed to consider the character of the
-dress as a whole, and of the parts of which it consisted. In giving a
-general description it will be best to take an example which exhibits
-all, or nearly all, the characteristics that can be collected from
-the various statues. No. 594 will serve our purpose. (Perrot and
-Chipiez, pl. xii.; Lechat, <i>Au Musée de l’Acropole</i>, fig. 16.)<a
-id="FNanchor_127" href="#Footnote_127" class="fnanchor">[127]</a> The
-under-garment which appears on the neck and left arm is represented
-by a series of fine wavy lines, running parallel to one another,
-which give a crinkled appearance, and may possibly be meant to
-indicate a material which has undergone some special treatment in
-the making. This garment is finished at the neck and down the upper
-part of the arm by an ornamental border, originally painted, but
-from which the colour has now almost entirely disappeared. The lower
-part of the figure is covered by a very long and ample garment,
-which I shall hope to prove to be the same as that which covers
-the left shoulder and upper arm. This garment is ornamented with a
-broad and elaborate meander pattern down the middle of the front;
-and if the statue were not broken, we should probably see another
-border round the bottom. So far, the costume is comparatively simple;
-but above this<span class="pagenum" id="Page_76">[p. 76]</span>
-under-garment is worn a cloak which passes under the left arm and is
-drawn up to the right shoulder, where it is fastened so as to hang
-in heavy vertical folds down the right-hand side of the figure, back
-and front; in most cases we shall find that the cloak is fastened
-by a series of buttons along the upper part of the arm, as far as
-the curve of the elbow. The example before us now has an additional
-wrap, which conceals the fastening down the right arm. The rest of
-the cloak, passing under the left arm, hangs in a series of oblique
-but almost vertical folds, running parallel to a box-pleat which
-starts from the shoulder. These folds are apparently held in place by
-a band passing under the left arm and fixed on the other shoulder.
-The upper edge of the cloak hangs over this band in a sort of little
-frill with a zigzag edge. The mass of folds lying close to the figure
-under the left arm represents the material which forms the sleeve of
-the chiton. The additional wrap seen in one or two of the statues
-is a very simple matter; it consists of a large scarf worn over
-the shoulders, hanging down to a point on the left-hand side; it
-leaves the left arm uncovered, passes round the back, and over the
-right shoulder. Instead of hanging straight down to a point in the
-right-hand side, the end of the scarf is turned up and thrown over
-the arm. The end is broken away in No. 594, but appears in another
-instance (No. 684, Acropolis Museum; Perrot and Chipiez, fig. 297, p.
-592). Both cloak and scarf are<span class="pagenum" id="Page_77">[p.
-77]</span> bordered with patterns, of which the colour still remains
-to some extent.</p>
-
-<p>Many theories have been advanced as to the various garments which
-compose the costume. It will be well to give a brief summary of
-them, and to point out wherein they fall short, and, if possible, to
-substitute one that is more satisfactory.</p>
-
-<p>The chief point at issue is whether the skirt part of the drapery
-belongs to the chiton—that is to say, to the garment which appears on
-the neck and left arm—or whether it is part of the cloak which passes
-under the left arm and is fastened on the right shoulder. Collignon
-even distinguishes three garments; he believes that the skirt is
-the chiton proper, and that the crinkled texture of the piece which
-appears above the himation is meant to represent some sort of woollen
-jersey worn over the chiton, which he calls the “chitoniscus.”</p>
-
-<p>The difference in texture comes out very plainly in those cases
-where the himation is worn over the shoulders like a shawl, or
-where it is omitted altogether; for example, in Nos. 670 and 671.<a
-id="FNanchor_128" href="#Footnote_128" class="fnanchor">[128]</a></p>
-
-<p>At first sight it appears as though two separate garments were
-intended, but on close examination it will be found that the curved
-line which terminates the wavy lines of the upper section has not
-the appearance of an edge, but appears rather to turn under and
-to represent a pouch, formed by pulling the garment up through
-the girdle. Moreover, in<span class="pagenum" id="Page_78">[p.
-78]</span> some cases these parallel wavy lines appear on the
-skirt as well, and cover the whole surface with the exception of
-the mass of folds hanging down the middle of the front. This can
-clearly be seen in No. 687 (Lechat, p. 161), in a small statue of
-the same type from Eleusis, now in the National Museum, Athens, and
-in the relief of the Charites in the Acropolis Museum (Lechat, pl.
-3). Again, the same technique is found sometimes introduced into
-the rendering of the himation. Frequently on the shoulder, when
-the cloak is fastened, a succession of these wavy parallel lines
-begins to appear, then stops suddenly, and the rest of the garment
-presents a smooth surface.<a id="FNanchor_129" href="#Footnote_129"
-class="fnanchor">[129]</a> There can be no question here of a
-difference of material, nor of a separate piece of drapery, so
-that we must look for some other explanation of the different
-treatment. Lechat has offered one which is satisfactory and which
-finds confirmation in other monuments. He says “the difference in
-the appearance of the upper and lower part of the same garment is
-due to this: that in the lower part, all the superfluous material is
-gathered together in a single mass, and the rest is drawn tightly
-across the legs; while in the upper part, the material, being left
-free, falls in regular folds all round the body.” He further suggests
-that the regularity of the folds may be meant to represent some
-artificial treatment of the dress, such as is applied to the modern
-<i>fustanella</i>. The archaism of the work, however, is sufficient to
-account for this<span class="pagenum" id="Page_79">[p. 79]</span>
-regularity in representing a series of very full folds in a fine
-material held in rather closely to the figure. The same kind of
-treatment appears on many of the red-figured vases of the best
-period. One from a vase by Euphronios is reproduced by Kalkmann
-(<i>Jahrbuch</i>, vol. ix.); it occurs also on the well-known Troilus
-vase by the same artist, and in numerous other instances (Klein,
-<i>Euphronios</i>, p. 215). Above the girdle the folds are represented by
-fine parallel wavy lines drawn very close together below by straight
-lines. In these cases there is no questioning the fact that only
-one garment is intended, so that we may conclude that in the case
-of the Acropolis statues too, there is no need to suppose that the
-difference in texture represents two separate garments of different
-materials.</p>

-<p>It has been suggested that there may be an intention on the part
-of the artist to indicate some kind of material that had a crinkled
-texture, such as that of some of the modern Greek stuffs; but if this
-were so, we might reasonably expect to find the same technique all
-over the garment, and the comparison with the vases shows that the
-supposition is not necessary.</p>
-
-<p>We may conclude, then, that in those cases where the himation is
-omitted altogether, the figure is draped in a single garment, namely,
-the long Ionic chiton described above.</p>
-
-<p>In the case of these statues, the chiton is exceptionally long;
-there is still some material left trailing on the ground after the
-formation of the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_80">[p. 80]</span>
-deep “kolpos,” which necessitates the skirt being held up in one
-hand, so as not to impede walking. We are at once reminded of the
-Ἰάονες <span
- class="cambiado"
- title="In the printed book: Ἑλκεχιτῶνες"
- id="tn_15">Ἑλκεχίτωνες</span>
-of the Homeric Hymn to Apollo.</p>
-
-<p>We have next to consider those cases—and they are in the
-majority—where another garment is worn over the chiton; and it is
-on this point that archæologists are at variance. Many maintain
-that the chiton only appears on the upper left-hand side of the
-figure, and that a very large cloak is worn over it, which covers
-the whole of the rest of the chiton, and has a deep overfold at the
-top and trails on the ground behind, being held up in front and
-drawn aside in the left hand. Studniczka supports this view, and
-calls the garment an “ionisirende Peplos.” Holwerda, in an article
-in the <i>Jahrbuch</i> for 1904, gives some drawings of some practical
-experiments he has made in draping a model in a garment of this
-kind. He supposes that it is cylindrical in shape, with a deep
-overfold, which is shorter on the shoulder than elsewhere, and so
-produces a zigzag line along its lower edge when draped; a girdle is
-worn underneath the overfold, through which the superfluous length
-left by shortening the overfold on the shoulder can be drawn. He
-supposes that the garment was drawn tightly round under the left
-arm, and that its upper edge formed the frill which we see in many
-of the Acropolis statues. A comparison between his finished model
-and the statue which he reproduces beside it serves to show the
-points wherein his theory falls short; it in<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_81">[p. 81]</span> no way accounts for the vertical folds
-of the cloak, nor for the tight band which appears passing under the
-left arm and fastened on the right shoulder. Amelung, writing in
-Pauly-Wissowa’s <i>Real Encyclopädie</i>, and Professor E. A. Gardner,
-in his <i>Handbook of Greek Sculpture</i>, maintain that the garment is
-simply a Doric peplos fastened on one shoulder instead of both, and
-held in place by a tight band, under which the width of the peplos
-is arranged in vertical folds. The main objections to this theory
-are that the Doric peplos is invariably fastened in one place only
-on the shoulder, whereas the fastening of the garment in question
-is continued by a series of brooches down as far as the elbow; the
-result would be to leave a very heavy and cumbersome mass of material
-hanging from the right arm, which would seriously impede any active
-motion. Moreover, it leaves out of account a piece of material which
-appears almost invariably in front, below the zigzag edge, where
-it is drawn up highest.<a id="FNanchor_130" href="#Footnote_130"
-class="fnanchor">[130]</a> Holwerda takes it to be a girdle, but it
-has not the appearance of a girdle; it hangs over the material that
-falls from below it, and does not cut into the soft stuff in the way
-in which a girdle would. That the makers of these statues knew how
-to represent a girdle is plain from No. 679,<a id="FNanchor_131"
-href="#Footnote_131" class="fnanchor">[131]</a> where the Doric
-peplos is worn over the Ionic chiton. In this case the peplos is
-consider<span class="pagenum" id="Page_82">[p. 82]</span>ably
-shorter than the chiton, so that the latter garment is plainly seen
-below the peplos, which only hangs down to a distance somewhat above
-the ankles. The Caryatid of the Cnidian Treasury at Delphi has the
-girdle clearly represented below the box-pleat by two parallel,
-horizontal, incised lines. On the frieze of the same building some
-of the figures are represented wearing the Doric peplos as an
-over-garment; in these cases also it is shorter than the chiton,
-which invariably appears below it at the feet. An archaic statue from
-Rhamnus, in Attica, now in the British Museum, has the crinkly chiton
-showing at the feet, and over it a himation with a deep overfold
-reaching considerably below the waist; in addition to this overfold
-a pleated frill appears over the breast, but no band is visible; the
-frill, however, is deeper than is usually the case in the Acropolis
-statues, and might be intended to conceal a band. This over-dress is
-sewn up at the side, and in that respect resembles the Doric peplos.
-It is significant that in this case, where the garment might with
-more reason be regarded as a Doric peplos let down from one shoulder,
-the chiton is seen appearing below it at the feet, and the over-dress
-does not reach to the ankles. In the few cases where the feet of the
-Acropolis statues are preserved, it will be noticed that the skirt
-is held up fairly high towards one side, so as to display the ankle.
-If a long under-garment were worn, we should expect its lower edge
-to be seen here; but in no instance is that the case, so that we may
-conclude<span class="pagenum" id="Page_83">[p. 83]</span> that the
-skirt itself is the under-garment. Those who maintain that the skirt
-belongs to the upper garment support their opinion by the fact that
-very frequently the ornamentation on the two different parts is the
-same; the natural colour of the marble is left as a ground, and the
-decoration consists of coloured borders and patterns dotted somewhat
-sparsely over the surface. The part of the dress which appears on
-the left shoulder is frequently painted all over, and we might have
-expected that if the skirt belonged to the same garment it would
-also be painted all over. But before accepting this argument as
-conclusive, it will be well to consider the nature and purpose of
-polychromy as applied to Greek sculpture.</p>
-
-<p>In the early days when inferior materials were used for sculpture,
-colour was applied to them to conceal the poverty of the stone and
-to produce a more pleasing surface than that offered by the rough
-material at the artist’s disposal. These coarser materials were not
-capable of such careful finish, or of producing such a lively play
-of light and shade, as the marbles later used, and the only way to
-give them animation was by the application of colour all over the
-surface. It became, therefore, a regular practice for early Greek
-sculptors to paint their statues. When, however, they began to use
-more beautiful materials, such as marble, they recognised that it
-was a pity to conceal its texture by the extensive application of
-colour. They therefore adopted the practice of submitting the surface
-of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_84">[p. 84]</span> the marble to
-a process of polishing, and adding colour only in parts, the effect
-being that the beauty of the marble is enhanced by the contrast
-between its polished surface and the coloured parts of the statue.
-The range of colours used is somewhat limited and conventional. For
-example, in the early pediment groups from the Acropolis, we find red
-used for human flesh; and the colours used in the draperies of the
-Acropolis female statues are limited to red and blue. Both eyes and
-hair are invariably red. We may infer, therefore, that colour was
-not added with a view to reproducing nature faithfully, but simply
-to decorate the statues. If, therefore, the artist felt that a white
-surface of marble with a few patterns sprinkled over it produced a
-more pleasing effect than a surface coloured all over, he would use
-this method of decorating his work, even if it were not realistic;
-and he would prefer to treat large surfaces of drapery in this way,
-rather than colour them all over. When, therefore, in these statues,
-we find that the small surface of the chiton which appears on the
-upper part of the figure is coloured all over, we need not conclude
-that the skirt belongs to another garment because it is differently
-ornamented; had so large a surface been painted all over, the effect
-would have been far less pleasing. The difference in the decoration
-of different parts of the same garment need in no way surprise us;
-it occurs very frequently in the black-figured vases, where we
-get purple used for the upper part of a garment and black for the
-lower,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_85">[p. 85]</span> simply with
-the object of producing variety. The argument from the application of
-coloured ornament will not help us, then, in this case, especially
-when we find that it can be used to support either view. Professor
-Baldwin Brown has pointed out that some terra-cotta figures<a
-id="FNanchor_132" href="#Footnote_132" class="fnanchor">[132]</a>
-in the Acropolis Museum, which are draped in the same style as the
-archaic statues, have the under-garment covering the shoulder and
-the skirt painted in one colour, and the part which passes round the
-figure under the left arm in another, and he uses this fact as a
-piece of evidence to show that the skirt is part of the chiton and
-the rest a separate garment.<a id="FNanchor_133" href="#Footnote_133"
-class="fnanchor">[133]</a> It will be safer, therefore, in
-considering the different garments which constitute the dress, to
-leave the question of colour out of account altogether, and to base
-our arguments only on their form. Many who maintain that the skirt
-is part of the chiton, are of the opinion that the upper garment is
-the ordinary himation with a small overfold, fastened on the shoulder
-and down the arm. Lechat supposes that the upper edge is taken up
-and drawn from beneath and folded over on itself, so as to form a
-sort of thick pad at the top, and he suggests that the pleats were
-folded before the cloak was put on, and perhaps even ironed; but this
-arrangement would not produce the vertical folds which we find in
-almost all the statues.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_86">[p. 86]</span></p>
-
-<p>Kalkmann<a id="FNanchor_134" href="#Footnote_134"
-class="fnanchor">[134]</a> calls the garment a “stilisirte himation,”
-and suggests that the vertical lines are continued round the
-figure because the artist had great difficulty in representing the
-transition between the vertical folds which hang down from the arm
-and the horizontal ones of the overfold. This explanation, however,
-does not account for the frill-like edge which appears at the
-top of the himation. Professor Baldwin Brown<a id="FNanchor_135"
-href="#Footnote_135" class="fnanchor">[135]</a> has published some
-good photographs of a model draped in this Ionian himation, but has
-not given a very full or satisfactory explanation of how the effect
-was produced. He says that the secret of the dress is that “the upper
-edge of it, with all the folds, is tightly rolled over so that it is
-shortened in the front, while at the same time the folds are kept in
-their places.” He admits that the folds will only keep in place on a
-“motionless wearer of imperturbable patience,” and therefore supposes
-that the dress was evolved for use on the wooden xoana. It seems
-unlikely that a special dress of such an elaborate nature should
-have been evolved to drape these early wooden images, and there is
-no reason to suppose that the series of Acropolis statues are merely
-reproductions of such images. They appear much rather to represent
-the grand Athenian ladies who dedicated themselves symbolically
-to their patron goddess by setting up statues of themselves in
-her honour. Since the statues were probably intended to be set up
-permanently in a conspicuous<span class="pagenum" id="Page_87">[p.
-87]</span> place, it is natural that the votaries would like to see
-themselves appearing in their best clothes.</p>
-
-<p>A careful study of the statues themselves and a consideration of
-all the evidence bearing on the question leads to the conclusion that
-the complete costume consists of two garments, a long under-dress,
-which may be regarded as the usual indoor costume of the Athenian
-ladies of the sixth century, and a mantle worn over it for out
-of doors; occasionally a scarf or shawl is worn as well over the
-mantle, perhaps for additional warmth, perhaps only for ornament.
-The under-dress consists of the long linen Ionic chiton, a wide
-cylindrical garment fastened by brooches or sewn down both arms
-so as to form sleeves; a girdle is worn round the waist, and the
-superfluous length of the material is drawn up over this girdle so
-as to form a deep pouch; sometimes this pouch is worn all round the
-figure, sometimes, as is apparently the case in a large seated figure
-of Athena, the pouch is formed only in front. On some occasions<a
-id="FNanchor_136" href="#Footnote_136" class="fnanchor">[136]</a> we
-find that the chiton, in addition to the pouch, has an overfold from
-the neck resembling the ἀπόπτυγμα of the Doric peplos. This overfold
-sometimes only covers the chest and sometimes hangs down considerably
-lower. Such an overfold is very frequently found on vases; in some
-cases its material may be of one piece with that of the rest of
-the chiton, as it appears on one of the Nereids from the so-called
-Nereid monument; but in those many cases where it only appears<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_88">[p. 88]</span> between the shoulders and
-does not extend also along the arms, it is quite possible that it may
-be a separate piece of stuff sewn on to the chiton at the neck. It
-is probably the edge of such an overfold that appears at the waist
-below the himation on the Acropolis statues; no other satisfactory
-explanation of this detail of the costume has at present been
-suggested. It is unlikely that it represents the “kolpos,” because
-in all cases, with one possible exception (No. 676; Lechat, fig.
-29), a border is painted on it, indicating that it is an edge and
-not a pouch. It has been suggested that this overfold was sometimes
-made of a different kind of material from the chiton on to which it
-was sewn, and that this material was a silk or linen of a crinkled
-texture, indicated by the wavy parallel lines which appear on the
-statues. The fact that this treatment appears sometimes also on the
-skirt and on the upper part of the mantle, diminishes the probability
-of this hypothesis, and makes it appear more likely that this kind
-of technique was simply used to represent very full folds in a fine
-material. Such a treatment may have been suggested to the artist by
-familiarity with some material of a crinkled texture, such as that
-used for sheets and table-cloths in some Greek villages to-day.</p>
-
-<p>With regard to the ornamental patterns which adorn the chiton,
-we find borders at the feet and at the edge of the overfold, also
-strips of ornamentation running round the neck and along the arms and
-round the arm-holes, and almost invariably a<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_89">[p. 89]</span> broad band running vertically down the
-front of the lower part of the chiton. In addition to these strips
-and borders we also get stars or small floral designs scattered over
-the whole garment. The bands which appear at the edges are easy to
-understand; they were either woven in the material of which they
-were made, or, more probably, embroidered on to it afterwards; but
-in those cases where the overfold is worn and a pattern appears at
-its edge and also along the neck and arms, we must suppose that this
-latter was applied after the sleeves were formed and the overfold
-attached. Possibly, also, the vertical band on the lower part of
-the chiton represents a separate strip of embroidery sewn on to the
-garment. The Greek women probably occupied a large proportion of
-their time in embroidery; and since a good piece of embroidery lasts
-for very many years, it is quite possible that when the original
-garment was worn out, they may have cut off the strip of still good
-work, and sewn it on to a new dress. The only other explanation of
-the numerous patterns which appear on the statues, is that the artist
-simply applied ornamentation wherever it pleased his fancy to do so;
-this is less satisfactory than to suppose that he was representing
-something which he actually saw.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p>Turning to the himation or mantle worn over the chiton, the
-simplest method of producing the effect seen in the Acropolis
-statues was found by experiment to be by taking a piece of material
-between 5 and 6 yards long and about 18 or 20<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_90">[p. 90]</span> inches wide. This was folded double, as
-in the diagram at the point <i>a</i>, so that the points <i>b</i> and <i>b′</i> met.
-Then at the points <i>c</i> and <i>c′</i>, at equal distances from the corners,
-and cutting off at little less than one-third of the wide length of
-the stuff, the two upper edges were fastened together on the model’s
-right shoulder, a few pleats or gathers being taken in the material
-on each side. A series of such fastenings was made along the upper
-arm, as far as the points <i>d</i> and <i>d′</i>, which reached to the model’s
-elbow; the rest of the stuff, as far as the points <i>b</i> and <i>b′</i>,
-was allowed to hang down from the elbow. The part of the material
-<i>c</i> to <i>c′</i> passed under the left arm and was arranged in a series
-of regular oblique folds running parallel to the box-pleat, which
-formed itself naturally at the first fastening on the shoulder—that
-is to say, at the points <i>c</i> and <i>c′</i>; these folds were held in
-place by a band passing under the left breast, drawn rather tightly
-round the figure and secured firmly on the right shoulder. In order
-to make the lower edge of the cloak rise in the middle, as it does
-invariably in the statues, it was found necessary to draw the folds
-up over the band and let the upper edge fall over, forming a kind
-of frill. The frill, however, hung down too low, and it was<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_91">[p. 91]</span> this fact that suggested
-cutting the upper edge of the cloak out in a curve, or rather in two
-curves, one at the back and one at the front, leaving the part under
-the left arm longer than that in front and behind. When these curves
-were cut out and the garment once more arranged in its pleats, the
-little frill-like edge hung of itself over the band, just in the way
-in which it appears in some of the statues. The band alone held the
-folds fairly well in place; but in order to prevent the possibility
-of their slipping, the Athenian ladies probably had them stitched
-on to the band. It would be quite easy to slip the garment on and
-off over the head without even unfastening it on the shoulder.<a

-
-<p>The variations in detail which appear in the different statues can
-easily be produced by arranging the folds in a slightly different
-fashion. In some cases, as for example in No. 674 (Lechat, pl. 1),
-the folds hang quite upright instead of obliquely, and the box-pleat
-appears in the middle instead of hanging from the shoulder; this can
-easily be produced by turning the folds first in one direction and
-then in the opposite. The folds of the frill sometimes hang in the
-opposite direction to those of the main part of the mantle; this is
-simply a mistake on the part of the artist. Occasionally the frill
-does not appear at all, for example in No. 686 (Lechat, fig. 37), but
-the cloak hangs straight down from the broad band. In this instance
-we must<span class="pagenum" id="Page_92">[p. 92]</span> suppose
-that the overhanging mass of material has been cut away entirely
-before the folds were attached to the band.</p>
-
-<p>Sometimes the two ends were sewn together along the lines <i>be</i> and
-<i>b′e′</i>, and in this case the last fastening, indicated by the letters
-<i>d</i> and <i>d′</i>, approached nearer to the points <i>b</i> and <i>b′</i>, so as to
-leave an opening only sufficient for the arm to pass through.</p>
-
-<p>The detail of the cloak which presents most variety is the little
-frill-like edge which falls over the band. Sometimes it appears to be
-a natural continuation of the vertical folds which hang down below
-it, and it falls over the band so as almost to hide it; sometimes
-it is shorter, and reveals the band and forms a sort of leaf-like
-pattern above it; in other cases it disappears entirely. Its most
-realistic representation is in one of the Victories in the Acropolis
-Museum, where the corners <i>c</i> and <i>c′</i>, formed by cutting the
-curves, are actually indicated on the shoulder, and the frill lies
-in an irregular zigzag, almost exactly as it was found to fall in
-practice.</p>
-
-<p>In two cases in the Acropolis Museum at Athens, and in a statue
-at Delphi, the band does not pass under the arm, but from shoulder
-to shoulder, and the cloak covers both arms symmetrically, being
-fastened down both alike with a series of brooches. In these cases
-the box-pleat falls in the middle, and the curve must necessarily
-have been considerably smaller, since the upper edge lies much higher
-up towards the neck. When the cloak was worn in this way, it was
-probably sewn up<span class="pagenum" id="Page_93">[p. 93]</span>
-down both sides, and the curves for the neck, back and front, were
-naturally equidistant from the two side-seams. The openings for the
-arms would come at the ends of the top edge, as in the case of the
-Ionic chiton.</p>

-
-<p>The style of dress represented by this set of monuments is
-certainly the most luxurious which we find in Greek art at any
-period. Now the date of the Acropolis maidens can be fixed at some
-period certainly not later than the last quarter of the sixth
-century. Solon’s sumptuary law regulating women’s dress must have
-been enacted during the first years of the sixth century, so that we
-may conclude that these dainty ladies with their chitons, cloaks, and
-scarfs represent the height of luxury in dress which was possible
-after the passing of that law: their self-satisfied smile seems to be
-inviting approval of the degree of elegance to which their ingenuity
-could attain, even though a stern law-giver had limited the number of
-their garments to three.</p>
-
-<p>This style of dress seems to have passed out of fashion at the
-end of the sixth century, or in the early years of the fifth, for
-we find it only in the early works of sculpture already mentioned.
-An attempt to render it is frequently made by the artists of the
-early red-figured vases—sometimes with some success; but more
-often the attempt results in a confusion between this somewhat
-elaborate style of cloak and the simpler development which it took
-later. <a href="#fig35">Fig. 35</a> shows a fairly successful
-attempt to represent the dress. Here we have the band passing<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_94">[p. 94]</span> round the right shoulder
-and the vertical folds falling from it, but the frill and the
-fastening down the right arm are omitted. Possibly they taxed the
-artist’s skill too greatly; possibly the style had already passed
-out of fashion in real life. But he would be moderately familiar
-with the maidens on the Acropolis, although perhaps not sufficiently
-so to be able to reproduce their costume in detail. Working daily
-in his little shop down below in the Cerameicus, perhaps he did not
-very frequently mount the citadel, where he might study the art
-treasures that adorned it. Possibly even the vase is not earlier
-than 480 <span class="smcap">B.C.</span>, and the picture is but a
-reminiscence of the statues that the artist had seen on the Acropolis
-previous to their burial at the coming of the Persians. Very often
-on the vases we find the vertical folds represented falling from
-beneath a series of horizontal folds obviously formed by turning
-over the top of the cloak before fastening it on the shoulder. Here
-the band and fastening down the arm are omitted.<a id="FNanchor_138"
-href="#Footnote_138" class="fnanchor">[138]</a> The place of the
-frill is taken by an overfold of the cloak before it is put on, and
-it is fastened by a single brooch on the shoulder; the material is
-allowed to hang in natural folds, and the necessity of cutting a
-curve in the upper edge is obviated by the fact that no band is worn,
-and the stuff is not arranged in artificial vertical folds. This
-style of cloak appears already on the figure of Apollo, on the relief
-from Thasos in the Louvre; it is seen most clearly in<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_95">[p. 95]</span> the Artemis of Gabii.<a
-id="FNanchor_139" href="#Footnote_139" class="fnanchor">[139]</a>
-It was probably developed from the earlier and more elaborate form
-of cloak by gradual stages, first by omitting the artificial folds
-and the band which held them in place, and then by omitting the
-numerous fastenings on the arm. This would necessitate an alteration
-in the shape of the cloak; it would naturally become more square.
-Kalkmann, in the article already referred to, fig. 17, represents
-an intermediate stage in this development, where a large cloak is
-worn without band or frill, and is fastened by a series of several
-brooches down one arm. Were it not for this representation of the
-transition stage, we might be inclined to class the cloak of the
-Artemis of Gabii as a development of the Doric peplos, which it
-resembles in having an overfold and being fastened by a single large
-brooch on the shoulder; and indeed these two elements are probably
-due to the influence of the Doric dress, and we should therefore,
-perhaps, more rightly call the final form of the cloak a blending of
-the two styles rather than a development of either the one or the
-other.</p>

-<p>As early as the beginning of the fifth century we find the two
-styles becoming confused and mingled together. The Doric peplos is
-worn as an over-dress over the Ionic chiton, even by one of the
-“Maidens” of the Acropolis, and later on the commonest form of
-outdoor dress for women was the Ionic chiton with the Doric himation
-over it. This combination appears in the so-called Fates of the
-Parthenon pediment. Frequently we find this<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_96">[p. 96]</span> blending of the two styles in a
-single garment; we find also on vases the overgirt Doric peplos
-with sleeves formed by a number of brooches;<a id="FNanchor_140"
-href="#Footnote_140" class="fnanchor">[140]</a> and again,
-with cross-bands, which belong properly to the Ionic chiton.<a
-id="FNanchor_141" href="#Footnote_141" class="fnanchor">[141]</a>
-Some authorities, pinning their faith entirely to Herodotus, consider
-that the brooch is an element which belongs strictly only to the
-Doric dress; they therefore regard the chiton with pinned sleeves as
-a mixture of the two. An over-garment not very simple in form, which
-can be regarded as neither Doric nor Ionic, but a mixture of both, is
-illustrated by <a href="#fig38">Fig. 38</a>. Kalkmann regards it as
-a number of overfolds or flounces sewn separately on to the chiton.
-It seems more reasonable, however, to regard the part of the dress
-which appears on the arms and at the feet, and which is made of a
-plain material, as the chiton, and the rest which is ornamented with
-a pattern, as a separate over-garment. This garment has three edges,
-at the waist, hips, and ankles, so that it is obviously not merely
-an ordinary rectangular himation, nor a simple Doric peplos with
-overfold. It seems simplest to explain it as a Doric peplos with deep
-overfold, ungirt, having a short false overfold to the waist sewn
-on over the real one at the neck. Such over-garments never occur in
-sculpture and only rarely on the vases, and may possibly be an error
-or invention on the part of the vase-painter; if commonly worn, they
-would probably be more frequently represented in art.</p>

- <small>MATERIALS AND ORNAMENTATION</small></h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class="ti0"><span class="smcap">The</span>
-fabrics in use for Greek dresses presented considerable variety.
-The commonest materials were naturally woollen, but linen and
-silk were used for more luxurious garments, and a kind of leather
-jerkin known as διφθέρα<a id="FNanchor_142" href="#Footnote_142"
-class="fnanchor">[142]</a> was sometimes worn by peasants.</p>
-
-<p>That the woollen materials used themselves varied considerably
-in texture, is proved by some fragments actually found in a tomb
-at Kertch in the Crimea, and published in the <i>Comptes rendus</i> in
-1878. These date for the most part from the fourth century <span
-class="smcap">B.C.</span>, but one at least probably goes back to
-the fifth century. They are in most cases rather loosely woven, so
-that the separate threads are clearly visible, and a bright object
-could be seen through the material. The oldest piece is composed
-of such fine threads that it is almost transparent; other pieces
-have a texture not unlike that of woollen crêpe. A somewhat coarser
-piece, the threads of which are very strong, has a portion of a
-seam remaining, which is oversewn with strong<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_98">[p. 98]</span> woollen thread. In addition to very
-finely woven woollen materials, the more luxurious of the Greeks wore
-also many varieties of linen, and in some cases even silk. Pollux
-tells us that the long linen chiton was worn by the Athenians and
-Ionians, and many references are to be found in ancient literature
-to different kinds of linen, coming from places usually in Asia or
-the more easterly of the Ægean islands. Of these the most commonly
-mentioned are ἀμόργινα, garments made of linen from the flax of
-Amorgos, and βύσσινα, made of βύσσος, a yellowish kind of flax,
-coming especially from India and Egypt. We learn from Aristophanes<a
-id="FNanchor_143" href="#Footnote_143" class="fnanchor">[143]</a>
-that the χιτώνιον ἀμόργινον was transparent, so that we may
-conclude that the linen from which it was made was very fine
-indeed; perhaps it resembled a very fine cambric. That βύσσος was a
-linen of some kind, we are told by Pausanias,<a id="FNanchor_144"
-href="#Footnote_144" class="fnanchor">[144]</a> and Pollux gives
-us the information that it came from India. That it was known
-in Egypt also, is testified by Herodotus,<a id="FNanchor_145"
-href="#Footnote_145" class="fnanchor">[145]</a> who tells us
-of its use for mummy-cloths. It was probably rather a mark of
-luxury when worn by the Greeks, for Simætha<a id="FNanchor_146"
-href="#Footnote_146" class="fnanchor">[146]</a> tells us that she
-wore a χιτών of it when going out on a festive occasion.</p>
-
-<p>Of materials which come under the heading of silk, three kinds
-were known to the ancients. We read in Latin authors of <i>vestes
-coæ</i>, <i>bombycinæ</i>, and <i>sericæ</i>, and these were also known to
-the Greeks. Aristotle<a id="FNanchor_147" href="#Footnote_147"
-class="fnanchor">[147]</a> is the first of the ancient writers
-who<span class="pagenum" id="Page_99">[p. 99]</span> tells us
-anything of the production of silk. After describing the various
-changes undergone by the worm before becoming a moth, he gives us the
-following information:—</p>
-
-<blockquote>
-<p>Ἐκ δὲ τούτου τοῦ ζῴου καὶ τὰ βουβύκια ἀναλύουσι τῶν γυναικῶν τινές
-ἀναπηνιζόμεναι, κἄπειτα ὑφαίνουσιν· πρώτη δὲ λέγεται ὑφῆναι ἐν Κῷ
-Παμφίλη Πλάτεω θυγάτηρ.</p>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p class="ti0">“Some women undo the cocoons of this creature, winding
-off the silk, and then weave it; and Pamphile, daughter of Plateus,
-is said to have been the first to weave it in Cos.” This implies that
-the manufacture of silk was carried on in Cos, but no information is
-given as to whether the worm was reared in that island or whether the
-raw silk was imported. Pliny<a id="FNanchor_148" href="#Footnote_148"
-class="fnanchor">[148]</a> tells us more on the subject; he seems
-to distinguish the three kinds of silk mentioned above. Of these
-three, only “sericum” is, strictly speaking, silk—that is to say,
-a material made by unwinding the cocoon of the silkworm reared on
-the mulberry tree. This worm is first mentioned by Pausanias.<a
-id="FNanchor_149" href="#Footnote_149" class="fnanchor">[149]</a>
-It was the Chinese who discovered this method of procuring the
-silk, and it was apparently unknown to the Greeks and Romans. The
-“coa” and “bombycina” were procured by piercing and carding the
-cocoon instead of unwinding them entire; the result was a substance
-coarser and less brilliant than silk. Pliny draws a distinction
-between “coa” and “bombycina,” telling us that the latter was a
-product of Assyria and came from the ordinary mulberry worm, whereas
-the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_100">[p. 100]</span> worm from
-which coan silk was procured was reared on other trees, notably the
-oak, ash, and cypress.<a id="FNanchor_150" href="#Footnote_150"
-class="fnanchor">[150]</a></p>
-
-<p><i>Coæ vestes</i> are frequently mentioned by the Latin poets, chiefly
-Horace, Tibullus, and Propertius, and from them we learn that they
-were chiefly worn by <i>Hetairæ</i> and were of a transparent texture;<a
-id="FNanchor_151" href="#Footnote_151" class="fnanchor">[151]</a>
-sometimes they were purple and had gold threads interwoven
-or embroidered.<a id="FNanchor_152" href="#Footnote_152"
-class="fnanchor">[152]</a> One piece of silk was found amongst other
-materials at Kertch. In colour it is a bronze-gold, and is woven in a
-lozenge pattern.</p>
-
-<p>If Greek dress lacked variety of cut and material, the deficiency
-was to some extent made up by considerable gaiety of colour and
-ornamentation. Probably none but slaves and artisans would wear
-garments of one colour without pattern or ornamentation of any kind,
-and even they would sometimes have their dresses adorned with a
-simple border, such as a broad stripe. From the numerous references
-scattered up and down through extant literature, it appears that
-the favourite colours were purple, red, and yellow. Pollux<a
-id="FNanchor_153" href="#Footnote_153" class="fnanchor">[153]</a>
-gives us a list of the colours most commonly used. This list includes
-green (βατραχίς) and gray (κίλλιον, ὀνάγρινον), in addition to
-those mentioned above, but strangely enough no mention is made of
-blue. The word<span class="pagenum" id="Page_101">[p. 101]</span>
-κυάνεος, “dark blue,” is seldom if ever applied to garments, yet
-it is scarcely likely that the colour was unknown to the Greeks.
-Possibly some shades described as πορφύρεος approached a violet,
-or blue, as distinguished from ἁλοῦργος, “true purple.” For red we
-find the word φοινίκεος, “dark red,” used especially of the military
-cloak of the Lacedæmonians,<a id="FNanchor_154" href="#Footnote_154"
-class="fnanchor">[154]</a> and κοκκοβαφής, “scarlet”; for yellow
-κροκωτός and θάψινος. Βατραχίς, “frog-coloured,” is the word applied
-to a green garment, and this is probably the colour described
-as ὀμφάνικος, “like unripe grapes.” Pollux<a id="FNanchor_155"
-href="#Footnote_155" class="fnanchor">[155]</a> tells us that for
-mourning the Greeks wore φαιὸν καὶ μέλαν ἀλλήλοις ἔγγυς, “gray and
-black, very like each other.” From this we learn that φαιός was a
-very dark colour, probably gray or dun.</p>
-
-<p>The ornamentation applied to dress by the Greeks was very varied
-in character; it is comparatively rare to find on Greek vases a dress
-that is entirely free from decorations, and the patterns represented
-are very numerous. Sometimes the ornament consists of a simple
-border, often of a pattern distributed all over the dress, and these
-designs are frequently of a very elaborate character, including
-animal and even human forms. In sculpture, too, this feature was
-not neglected; the maidens of the Acropolis at Athens all have some
-pattern on their draperies added in colour, and one of them has no
-less than seven different designs distributed over her costume. We
-know that the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_102">[p. 102]</span>
-himation of the Olympian Zeus by Pheidias was richly decorated, and
-the fragment from Damophon’s great group at Lycosura will serve as a
-later example of sculptured drapery highly ornamented with patterns
-in relief. This has not only geometric and floral designs as borders,
-but the whole surface is covered with fantastic dancing figures of
-human and hybrid forms.</p>
-
-<p>References in literature are not very frequent; the
-most noteworthy occurs in the <i>Iliad</i>,<a id="FNanchor_156"
-href="#Footnote_156" class="fnanchor">[156]</a> where Helen is
-described as working at a great loom:</p>
-
-<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
-<p class="i18">ἣ δὲ μέγαν ἱστὸν ὕφαινεν</p>
-<p class="i0">δίπλακα πορφυρέην, πολέας δ᾽ ἐνέπασσεν ἀέθλους</p>
-<p class="i0">Τρώων θ᾽ ἱπποδάμων καὶ Ἀχαιῶν χαλκοχιτώνων.</p>
-</div></div>
-
-<p class="ti0">“She was weaving a great purple web of double fold,
-and over it she spread many battles of horse-taming Trojans and
-bronze-clad Achæans.”</p>
-
-<p>The epithet ποικίλος, applied to dress, undoubtedly means “richly
-decorated,” and the ἀνθινά, “flowered garments,” frequently mentioned
-in inscriptions, presumably refers to garments ornamented with floral
-designs. In connection with the passage in Homer, the question has
-been raised as to whether these complex designs were woven into the
-material or embroidered afterwards. It seems hardly likely that they
-were woven in, unless the work were a heavy tapestry, such as would
-hardly be suitable for a costume; moreover, the word ἐμπάσσω means
-“to sprinkle on,” and is more easily applicable to the distribution
-of a design over a piece of material<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_103">[p. 103]</span> already woven than to the formation
-of a pattern in the course of the weaving. The words μέγαν, ἱστὸν,
-and ὔφαινεν would still be applicable, because when the garment was
-at this stage, it would still be regarded as incomplete, and the
-designs, however applied, would probably be at least sketched out
-while it was still on the loom.</p>

-
-<p>Among the fragments of materials found at Kertch were some which
-were embroidered, others which had simple geometrical designs woven
-into the borders; in addition to these there were some considerable
-fragments of a large sarcophagus cover, the ornamentation of which is
-strongly reminiscent of Greek vase-painting of the fourth century.
-The ground is black and is covered with designs in red and light
-terra-cotta; the ornamentation is divided into bands, and consists
-of battle scenes with chariots, and birds and beasts scattered
-about the field of the design; the bands are separated by different
-patterns, many of which are frequently met with on vases. These
-include the egg and dart pattern, ivy and laurel wreaths, large
-palmettes, and many others.<a id="FNanchor_157" href="#Footnote_157"
-class="fnanchor">[157]</a> Names are inscribed against some of the
-figures, among others ΝΙΚΗ, ΑΘΗΝΑΙΗ ΙΟΚΑΣΤΗ, (Ι)ΓΓΟΜΕΔΩΝ, etc.</p>
-
-<p>These designs are not embroidered, nor are they produced in
-the course of weaving the cloth; they are apparently drawn out
-by means of some pigment applied after the material was woven.
-Herodotus tells us<a id="FNanchor_158" href="#Footnote_158"
-class="fnanchor">[158]</a> that the people of the Caucasus<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_104">[p. 104]</span> used to paint animals
-on their clothes with some vegetable pigment which they mixed with
-water. Some such procedure, then, must have been practised by the
-Greeks of the fourth century, which is the date assignable to the
-fragment in question, on the evidence of the inscriptions.</p>
-
-<p>The designs applied to Greek dresses presented abundant
-variety, as is evidenced by extant monuments, especially by the
-vases; they may be roughly classed as geometric, floral, and those
-containing animal and human forms. Of the geometric designs some
-are rectilinear, others curvilinear. The favourite rectilinear
-borders are broad lines, parallel rows of zigzag lines, the mæander
-or key pattern in very many forms varying from the simple running
-mæander to a complicated double fret, broken at intervals by stars
-or chequers. In addition to these borders we frequently find a
-chequer pattern covering the whole surface of a garment. A kind of
-net pattern, often seen on vases, was very probably used in dresses
-also. Of the curvilinear designs the most common are the “guilloche”
-or plait-band, the simple spiral, and the κυμάτιον or wave pattern.
-On the black-figured vases a kind of scale pattern frequently occurs
-covering a wide surface.</p>
-
-<p>A very great variety of floral designs was used by the Greeks
-for ornamentation of all kinds; they are very frequent as part of
-the scheme of decoration of vases, especially of those of Ionic
-origin. A favourite pattern is a simple laurel wreath like that
-depicted in <a href="#fig39">Fig. 39</a>; the ivy also forms the
-basis of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_105">[p. 105]</span>
-more than design. Sometimes it takes the form of a row of leaves
-on either side of a straight line; more often the leaves alternate
-with tendrils and berries. By far the commonest and the most
-beautiful of floral designs are those made up of lotus buds and
-flowers and palmettes. Sometimes we find the lotus alone forming
-the motive of the design, sometimes it alternates with palmettes.
-A very graceful pattern is composed of oblique palmettes turned in
-opposite directions and connected by spirals.<a id="FNanchor_159"
-href="#Footnote_159" class="fnanchor">[159]</a> That these designs
-so commonly used for the decoration of pottery were employed also
-in the textile arts is proved by some of the fragments found at
-Kertch. Quite considerable remains were found of a piece of woollen
-material elaborately embroidered with a large floral design (<a
-href="#fig40">Fig. 40</a>), the main motive of which is a graceful
-palmette, from the base of which spring spirals terminating in
-heart-shaped leaves and flowers. The design is executed in gold and
-green on a violet ground.<a id="FNanchor_160" href="#Footnote_160"

-<p>Animal and human forms are naturally less common than
-geometric and floral designs. Mention has already been made of
-the wonderful diplax woven by Helen, in which she represented
-scenes of battle between Trojans and Achæans. In art we find
-that goddesses are frequently depicted wearing garments covered
-with elaborate ornamentation of this kind. The François vase

-Triptolemus vase by Hieron,<a id="FNanchor_161" href="#Footnote_161"
-class="fnanchor">[161]</a> and the sculptured drapery from Damophon’s
-group at Lycosura, may be quoted. That mortals also indulged in such
-luxurious ornamentation is proved again by the Kertch fragments.
-One of the most charming pieces found there had a very naturalistic
-design of ducks embroidered in gold and green on a dark-brown ground
-(<a href="#fig41">Fig. 41</a> <i>c</i>); another piece had a figure of an

- <small>HAIR AND HEAD-DRESS</small></h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class="ti0"><span class="smcap">The</span> manner of wearing the
-hair seems to have varied considerably at different periods, both for
-men and women. In pre-Hellenic times it was, for the most part, if
-not invariably, allowed to grow long. On the frescoes from Knossos we
-find the cupbearer and other male figures represented wearing their
-hair in long, wavy tresses reaching to the waist or thereabouts.
-On Mycenæan gems and rings, where warriors are represented wearing
-helmets, the hair is frequently concealed, so that it is impossible
-to determine whether it was worn short or bound up in some manner,
-so as to be out of the way. The ivory statuettes of athletes from
-Knossos have long hair,<a id="FNanchor_162" href="#Footnote_162"
-class="fnanchor">[162]</a> so that in all probability that was the
-prevailing fashion among men in Crete. Among women in pre-Hellenic
-times, the fashion was to wear the hair long; the snake goddess and
-her votary have hair that reaches far past the waist, and in almost
-all extant art of the period the hair of the women is represented
-as being abundant. It is frequently worn in long tresses down the
-back<span class="pagenum" id="Page_108">[p. 108]</span> (compare
-the dancing girl, <a href="#fig04">Fig. 4</a>) and arranged rather
-elaborately in front in curls, which sometimes suggest artificial
-treatment; sometimes the hair is done up at the back or top of the
-head, in modern fashion.</p>
-
-<p>In the Homeric poems we read of the “long-haired Achæans,”<a
-id="FNanchor_163" href="#Footnote_163" class="fnanchor">[163]</a>
-so that the sight of men with long hair was obviously familiar to
-the poet. From the passage which describes Andromache’s swoon,<a
-id="FNanchor_164" href="#Footnote_164" class="fnanchor">[164]</a>
-however, it is clear that the women of the poet’s day bound their
-hair up, using nets and kerchiefs and other appurtenances both useful
-and ornamental.</p>

-
-<p>Coming down to historic times, we find that before the Persian
-wars both men and women wore their hair long. After the middle of
-the fifth century a change took place, the men cutting their hair
-short for the most part, the women binding it up. The story of the
-Lacedæmonians combing their long hair when the Persians were close
-upon them is familiar (Herodotus, VII., 208). Extant monuments show
-us that before the Persian wars the men adopted various methods
-of disposing of their long hair: sometimes we see it worn loose
-with a simple fillet tied round the head;<a id="FNanchor_165"
-href="#Footnote_165" class="fnanchor">[165]</a> sometimes the
-long ends are turned up and tucked in under the fillet;<a
-id="FNanchor_166" href="#Footnote_166" class="fnanchor">[166]</a>
-sometimes they are turned up and held together by an additional band.
-This is the case with a bronze head from Olympia,<a id="FNanchor_167"
-href="#Footnote_167" class="fnanchor">[167]</a> where, however,
-some locks seem to have been left free on the neck.<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_109">[p. 109]</span> A relief in Athens,
-representing a Discobolus holding the “discus” behind his head,<a
-id="FNanchor_168" href="#Footnote_168" class="fnanchor">[168]</a>
-shows the hair probably divided and twisted together in two coils
-fastened tightly at a little distance from the end by a ribbon, or
-possibly by a metal spiral.<a id="FNanchor_169" href="#Footnote_169"
-class="fnanchor">[169]</a> The golden τέττιξ mentioned by Thucydides
-(I., 6) was obviously some kind of ornament inserted in the hair
-to hold the “chignon” in place. It has been shown by Helbig<a
-id="FNanchor_170" href="#Footnote_170" class="fnanchor">[170]</a>
-that this was probably a metal spiral or series of rings used to
-bind together the ends of the long hair; such a style is frequently
-represented in the art of the end of the sixth century and beginning
-of the fifth. The bands represented in <a href="#fig42">Fig. 42</a>
-(<i>c</i>) are possibly intended for such metal rings. Helbig’s view
-is supported and confirmed by Studniczka.<a id="FNanchor_171"
-href="#Footnote_171" class="fnanchor">[171]</a></p>
-
-<p>Probably the knot of hair bound up on the nape of the neck, as in
-the above examples, represents the κρωβύλος or κόρυμβος mentioned
-in Thucydides and elsewhere in literature. In later times this name
-was applied to the knot of hair on the top of the head which occurs
-so frequently in statues of Apollo; but there is no evidence to show
-that it was worn in this position before the fourth century at the
-earliest.</p>
-
-<p>A style very commonly exemplified by extant statues of
-Apollo, dating from the early part of the<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_110">[p. 110]</span> fifth century, is to tie a fillet round
-the head and roll the long hair tightly over it, tucking the ends in
-usually behind the ears.<a id="FNanchor_172" href="#Footnote_172"
-class="fnanchor">[172]</a> These ends are, however, sometimes
-allowed to hang down on the neck. Athletes very frequently disposed
-of their long hair by braiding it into two plaits from behind;
-these they crossed or brought round the head, fastening the two

-<p>The date of the change of fashion is impossible to fix. We
-find the athletes of Myron and Polycleitus represented with short
-hair, but long-haired Apollos are found considerably after their
-date. The change took place, in all probability, shortly after
-the Persian wars; it then became the fashion for Ephebi to cut
-off their long hair, which they consecrated to Apollo and Artemis
-or to a river god.<a id="FNanchor_174" href="#Footnote_174"
-class="fnanchor">[174]</a> When once the change had come about, long
-hair was considered, in Athens at least, as a mark of affectation
-or effeminacy. In <i>The Wasps</i> of Aristophanes,<a id="FNanchor_175"
-href="#Footnote_175" class="fnanchor">[175]</a> Amynias, the typical
-fop, is designated by the name of οὑκ τῶν Κρωβύλου, “he of the
-‘chignon,’” and in <i>The Clouds</i> the wearing of the τέττιξ is spoken
-of as a fashion quite out of date, or, as we might say, antediluvian.
-There is some uncertainty as to whether the Lacedæmonians wore
-their hair short or long; some authorities<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_111">[p. 111]</span> state that even in the fourth century
-they still wore it long as a mark of freedom, and since they were
-more conservative than the rest of the Greeks, it is quite possible
-that this was the case. With this possible exception, the custom of
-wearing the hair short continued, though Alexander probably set the
-fashion of wearing rather long and mane-like hair.</p>

-<p>A covering for the head was rarely worn by men, except when
-riding or travelling long distances; in these cases the πέτασος
-was worn as a protection against sun and rain. This consisted
-of a felt hat with broad brim, which could be turned up or
-down. Figs. <a href="#fig44">44</a>, <a href="#fig22">22</a>,
-and <a href="#fig23">23</a> represent its various shapes, <a

-the χλάμυς, which it almost invariably accompanies, probably came
-originally from Northern Greece, Thrace, or Thessaly, where more
-protection was needed against cold and inclement weather. Another
-head-covering, worn by sailors and by the god Hephaistos, is the
-πῖλος, a felt cap of conical shape resembling the modern fez.<a

-<p>Extant monuments show that before the Persian wars women for the
-most part wore their hair down, although instances occur where it is
-fastened up with bands or fillets. When worn down it was usually held
-in place by a fillet, and frequently a metal ornament, rather high
-in front and narrowing towards the back, was added. This was known
-as<span class="pagenum" id="Page_112">[p. 112]</span> the ἄμπυξ,
-or στεφάνη, and was probably made of gold; almost all the “Maidens”
-of the Acropolis wear it, and in several instances it is adorned
-with floral patterns.<a id="FNanchor_177" href="#Footnote_177"
-class="fnanchor">[177]</a> The high πόλος or crown worn by Hera (<a
-href="#fig45">Fig. 45</a> (<i>a</i>)) was probably also made of metal.
-Sometimes when the hair was worn down, the ends were prevented from
-flying in the wind by being tied together in a kind of little bag,<a
-id="FNanchor_178" href="#Footnote_178" class="fnanchor">[178]</a>
-which reminds one of the many fashions adopted by men in the Georgian
-period in England. Sometimes, like the men, the women tucked the
-long ends up under the fillet, and let them hang out over it at
-the back. The fillet itself frequently assumed the dimensions of a
-scarf, the ends of which were tucked up at the sides and allowed to
-hang down behind the ears. When the hair was done up, the “chignon”
-was at first worn low on the nape of the neck and held in place by
-bands variously arranged.<a id="FNanchor_179" href="#Footnote_179"
-class="fnanchor">[179]</a> Sometimes the στεφάνη alone was worn,<a
-id="FNanchor_180" href="#Footnote_180" class="fnanchor">[180]</a>
-and very often the hair was held up by a kerchief or snood (μίτρα,
-σάκκος). The styles in which it was worn present abundant variety:
-sometimes it covered the hair completely,<a id="FNanchor_181"
-href="#Footnote_181" class="fnanchor">[181]</a> except for a curl
-or two allowed to escape in front of the ears; sometimes it left
-the hair visible over the forehead only;<a id="FNanchor_182"
-href="#Footnote_182" class="fnanchor">[182]</a> sometimes over
-the forehead and on the crown of the head, and the ends of the
-kerchief might be tucked through at the side and allowed to hang
-down in front of the ears.<a id="FNanchor_183" href="#Footnote_183"
-class="fnanchor">[183]</a> <a href="#fig45">Fig. 45</a> (<i>f</i>) gives
-an example of the στεφάνη worn in addition to<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_113">[p. 113]</span> the snood. In the fourth century
-fashion seems to have dictated that the “chignon” should be worn
-higher up at the back of the head, and a small kerchief was used
-to hold it up, folded in such a way that it narrowed almost to a
-point over the forehead.<a id="FNanchor_184" href="#Footnote_184"
-class="fnanchor">[184]</a> Apparently a net was sometimes worn over
-the back of the hair. <a href="#fig45">Fig. 45</a> (<i>l</i>), from the
-Meidias vase, furnishes an illustration of this. In Hellenistic and
-Roman times the styles of dressing the hair became very numerous.
-The snood seems to have been discarded altogether, and adornment by
-means of artificial waving and curling apparently took its place. The
-modes of “coiffure” of the Alexandrian Greeks are as varied as those
-of modern Europe. Probably cosmetics were used for the hair and paint
-and powder for the face; for we learn from Xenophon’s <i>Œconomicus</i>
-that as far back as his date, not only hetairæ but married women
-resorted to artificial means of beautifying the complexion.</p>
-
-<p>More than one allusion is made in literature to some kind of hat
-worn by women; in Theocritus (<i>Idyll</i>, xv., 39), Praxinoa, when going
-out to the festival of Adonis, asks her maid for her wrap and hat
-(θολία).</p>
-
-<p>In the <i>Œdipus Coloneus</i><a id="FNanchor_185" href="#Footnote_185"
-class="fnanchor">[185]</a> Antigone recognises Ismene from a
-distance by the Thessalian hat which she wears as a protection
-against the heat of the sun. The words used are κυνῆ Θεσσαλίς,
-which seem to imply that the hat was made of some kind of skin,
-probably felt, and resembled the men’s<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_114">[p. 114]</span> “petasos,” which originated in Thessaly
-or Thrace; its shape may have been slightly different. The Tanagra

-practice of covering the feet seems to have varied somewhat among
-the Greeks. In all probability it was the custom to go barefoot
-indoors, and the habit prevailed among certain classes of going
-always unshod in the street also. It was a mark of hardihood in the
-Spartan youths always to go barefoot, and at Athens, in addition
-to the lower orders, who probably never wore shoes, philosophers
-and those who affected a simple life were in the habit of going
-unshod. That Socrates rarely covered his feet is proved by more than

-id="FNanchor_190" href="#Footnote_190" class="fnanchor">[190]</a>
-that the Athenians at least were particular about the fit;—to
-“swim about” in large boots was a mark of boorishness. Xenophon<a

-<p>The simplest form of footgear was the sandal, the πέδιλον of
-Homer, the ὑπόδημα of later times; this consisted of a leather
-sole cut to the shape of the foot and fastened on by means of
-straps or thongs, passing sometimes round the instep, sometimes
-between the toes and round the heel and ankle.<a id="FNanchor_192"
-href="#Footnote_192" class="fnanchor">[192]</a> At times a piece
-of skin was attached to the sandal at the back, so as to cover
-the back of the heel, or even to wrap round the instep entirely,
-leaving only the toes bare;<a id="FNanchor_193" href="#Footnote_193"
-class="fnanchor">[193]</a> from this form of sandal the ἔμβας, or
-slipper, was probably developed. This is described by Pollux<a
-id="FNanchor_194" href="#Footnote_194" class="fnanchor">[194]</a> as
-εὐτελὲς μὲν ὑπόδεμα, Θράκιον δὲ τὸ εὕρημα, “a cheap shoe, of Thracian
-invention.” Its name suffices to show that the foot was inserted
-into the ἔμβας, in contradistinction to the sandal, which was bound
-under the foot; and the epithet signifies that it covered the foot
-completely. This description could be applied to many varieties of
-shoes and boots represented in extant art. <a href="#fig46">Fig.
-46</a> (<i>e</i> and <i>f</i>) gives two examples of shoes—<i>e</i> being<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_117">[p. 117]</span> an ordinary soft shoe
-covering the foot completely to the ankle, <i>f</i> is turned up at the
-toes, like a modern Greek shoe, and reaches above the ankle at the
-back. A vase at the British Museum represents a woman cleaning a
-shoe of this shape. We learn from Aristophanes<a id="FNanchor_195"
-href="#Footnote_195" class="fnanchor">[195]</a> that shoes were
-cleaned with blacking made of pitch and applied with a sponge; they
-were usually black, except when the leather was allowed to retain
-its natural colour. The word ἔμβας seems to have been used for
-various kinds of foot-covering; in Aristophanes it refers sometimes
-to a kind of easy slipper worn by old men,<a id="FNanchor_196"
-href="#Footnote_196" class="fnanchor">[196]</a> and in other
-instances it is used of any ordinary shoe or boot. The mention
-by Pollux of its Thracian origin perhaps refers to the high boot
-turned over at the top, frequently represented on vase-paintings
-as being worn by horsemen with the Thracian cloak and petasos.<a
-id="FNanchor_197" href="#Footnote_197" class="fnanchor">[197]</a>
-Different varieties of this kind of boot are to be seen in <a

-
-<p>An article in Daremberg and Saglio’s <i>Dictionnaire</i> suggests an
-Asiatic origin, and indeed the resemblance between Greek boots and
-those represented on Assyrian monuments is striking. A comparison is
-actually made by Herodotus<a id="FNanchor_198" href="#Footnote_198"
-class="fnanchor">[198]</a> between Assyrian boots and Bœotian
-ἐμβάδες.</p>
-
-<p>It is quite possible that boots of this kind may have come to
-Greece from the East by way of Thrace, and the fact that Dionysus is
-very frequently<span class="pagenum" id="Page_118">[p. 118]</span>

-conjecture.</p>

-<p>A variety of the ἐμβάδες is to be found in the ἐνδρομίδες, a kind
-of boot worn by runners, as also by Hermes, Artemis, and the Amazons.
-They seem to have had no flap at the top, and to have been laced over
-a tongue either through holes or round buttons.<a id="FNanchor_199"

-<p>The word κρηπίδες is frequently used of some kind of

-id="FNanchor_201" href="#Footnote_201" class="fnanchor">[201]</a>
-that these were worn by soldiers. The κρῆπις was probably some kind

-in such a way as to form a protection for the heel and instep.<a

-get covered with dust; εὐμάριδες, Persian slippers of yellow kid;

-Λακωνικαί,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_119">[p. 119]</span>
-distinguished by their red colour—these were probably the same as the
-Ἁμυκλαί mentioned by Theocritus. One of the archaic female statues in
-the Acropolis Museum at Athens wears red shoes. Wood was sometimes
-used for sandals. Pollux tells us that κρουπέζια were a special kind

-toilet of the ancient Greeks was quite as elaborate as that of any
-modern people, and much time and care was bestowed upon it. That
-of the men was usually performed at the barber’s shop (Κουρεῖον),
-which became, as we gather from frequent allusions in Aristophanes,
-a regular resort for lounging and picking up news and scraps of
-gossip of all kinds. A fashionable Athenian would probably spend a
-whole morning at the barber’s shop, where, in addition to having
-his hair cut and beard clipped or shaved, he could submit to
-the various operations of manicure and chiropody. An epigram in
-the palatine anthology<a id="FNanchor_205" href="#Footnote_205"
-class="fnanchor">[205]</a> gives a list of barber’s implements, some
-of which have survived in a few examples, and may be seen in our
-museums. The list includes: scissors (ψάλις), razor (ξυρόν), some
-sharp, pointed instrument for paring and cleaning the nails (στόνυξ).
-Mention is also made of a scraper (ψήκτρα), which was probably used
-after bathing.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_121">[p. 121]</span>
-An ancient razor differs from a modern one, in that it is crescent

-<p>In addition to these implements, various ointments were used, one

-<p>When repairing to the wrestling school or the gymnasium, a Greek

-and a strigil (ξύστρα). The aryballos (<a href="#fig50">Fig. 50</a>)
-was a small globular vessel, with an opening just large enough to
-allow the oil to trickle slowly out, the lekythos being a long
-narrow bottle with a foot and a narrow neck.<a id="FNanchor_206"

-<p>The processes and requisites of the feminine toilet were many

-crouching figure of the bather; in other<span class="pagenum"
-id="Page_122">[p. 122]</span> instances we find a lady engaged in
-binding her hair with a fillet, tying her girdle, or fastening her

-in the operations, holding a scent-bottle, or a casket from which her
-mistress selects jewels.<a id="FNanchor_207" href="#Footnote_207"
-class="fnanchor">[207]</a> One vase-painting shows a lady applying

-<p>Many allusions in literature, and especially in Aristophanes,

-consists of a single disk polished on one side, the reverse being
-usually engraved. The disk is furnished with a handle, which is
-sometimes so constructed that it can serve also as a foot; the
-mirror can so be made to stand on a table. The handle of a mirror
-of this kind very frequently takes the form of a human figure.<a
-id="FNanchor_213" href="#Footnote_213" class="fnanchor">[213]</a>
-The box-mirror consists of two disks, the lower one, with its
-polished upper surface, serving as the mirror, the upper one as a
-cover to protect it. The two are sometimes quite separate and fit
-closely on to one another, but more often they are joined by a
-hinge; the cover is usually ornamented with relief work, a favourite
-subject being Aphrodite and Eros, although other mythological
-scenes are also found.<a id="FNanchor_214" href="#Footnote_214"

-<p>Of the various receptacles used for containing trinkets,
-hair-bands, cosmetics, and so on, the commonest is the pyxis,
-although we find also baskets and little square caskets represented
-in vase-paintings and on the Attic grave reliefs. A box for
-cosmetics in the British Museum is in the shape of a bird.<a
-id="FNanchor_215" href="#Footnote_215" class="fnanchor">[215]</a>
-The pyxis is a circular box with a lid; its sides are sometimes
-straight, but more often concave, and it is frequently raised on a
-foot. Its material was originally boxwood, hence its name, πύξις;
-but the majority of those which are extant are terra-cotta, though
-they are known also in ivory, alabaster, and precious metals. A
-common<span class="pagenum" id="Page_125">[p. 125]</span> subject
-on a terra-cotta pyxis is a toilet scene or a marriage procession.<a

-
-<p>The alabastron used to contain unguents or perfumes is a long
-narrow bottle with a spreading neck and small opening; it has
-no foot, and is round at the bottom, so that some kind of stand
-must have been necessary to hold it upright when not in use.<a
-id="FNanchor_217" href="#Footnote_217" class="fnanchor">[217]</a> It
-was usually made of stone, alabaster, or terra-cotta. The lekythos
-also was sometimes used for the same purpose.</p>
-
-<p>That Greek ladies wore abundant jewellery is proved by frequent
-representations both in sculpture and vase-paintings, as also by
-actual finds of jewellery, notably in the Greek graves of the fourth
-century at Kertch. These objects have been described and discussed
-by Mr A. B. Walters, in his book on <i>The Art of the Greeks</i>.<a
-id="FNanchor_218" href="#Footnote_218" class="fnanchor">[218]</a>
-Rings, bracelets, necklaces, brooches, and ear-rings, were commonly
-worn, as well as ornamental hair-pins and metal diadems for the hair.
-Many examples of goldsmith’s work are extant including some gold
-ornaments set with precious stones.</p>
-
-<p class="mt3">In summing up the results of the foregoing enquiry,
-we find that the nature and development of the costume of the
-Greeks is entirely in accordance with what we know of the nature
-and development of the national character. The chief<span
-class="pagenum" id="Page_126">[p. 126]</span> characteristics of
-the Doric dress, which was probably worn in early days by all the
-inhabitants of the mainland alike, is a certain broad simplicity;
-that of the Ionic dress, which was worn by the Asiatic Greeks, and
-for a short period at least by the Athenians also, is graceful
-elegance. These characteristics distinguish the Doric and Ionic
-temperaments as exhibited in art also, notably in architecture, and
-to some extent also in sculpture. Athens appears to have occupied a
-middle position between the Peloponnese and Ionia. The Peloponnesians
-seem to have clung throughout their history to the Dorian dress,
-as the Ionians probably did to the Ionic; but in Athens we find
-change and development most strongly marked. In very early days the
-Athenians wore the Doric dress; then in the course of the seventh and
-sixth centuries their intercourse with the East brought them into
-contact with Eastern ideas and Eastern customs, and they appear to
-have caught something of the luxury which was characteristic of the
-East. At any rate, for a time at least they adopted the Ionic dress,
-and carried it to a great degree of luxury and extravagance. Then
-with the Persian wars came a reaction against anything savouring
-of Orientalism, and a return to greater simplicity. This led to a
-resumption of the Doric dress, with certain modifications and the
-retention of some Ionic elements.</p>
-
-<p>It can hardly be questioned that the freedom and simplicity of
-their dress was to a great extent the cause of the development of the
-splendid<span class="pagenum" id="Page_127">[p. 127]</span> physique
-which the Greeks undoubtedly enjoyed. Their loose draperies allowed
-their limbs perfect freedom, and their bodies were unhampered by
-constraint of any kind. In the palæstra and the gymnasium, air and
-sunlight were allowed to exercise their salutary influence, for the
-Greeks were not “ashamed of their own naked skin,” and so discarded
-their clothing when in pursuit of their athletic occupations. The
-healthy state of body thus preserved no doubt had its share in
-fostering that healthy state of mind to which are due the sanity and
-sobriety that characterise all Greek thought, whether expressed in
-literature, art, or philosophy.</p>

-of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm

-<h2 class="pg">START: FULL LICENSE<br />
-<br />
-THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE<br />
-PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK</h2>
-
-<p>To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
-distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
-(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full
-Project Gutenberg-tm License available with this file or online at
-www.gutenberg.org/license.</p>
-
-<h3 class="centra">Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works</h3>
-
-<p>1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
-and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
-(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
-the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or
-destroy all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your
-possession. If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a
-Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound
-by the terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the
-person or entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph
-1.E.8.</p>
-
-<p>1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
-used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
-agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
-things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
-paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this
-agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.</p>
-
-<p>1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the
-Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
-of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual
-works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
-States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
-United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
-claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
-displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
-all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
-that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting
-free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm
-works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
-Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily
-comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
-same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when
-you share it without charge with others.</p>
-
-<p>1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
-in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
-check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
-agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
-distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
-other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no
-representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
-country outside the United States.</p>
-
-<p>1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:</p>
-
-<p>1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other
-immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear
-prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work
-on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the
-phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
-performed, viewed, copied or distributed:</p>
-
-<blockquote><p>This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United
- States and most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost
- no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use
- it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with
- this eBook or online
- at <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">www.gutenberg.org</a>. If you
- are not located in the United States, you'll have to check the laws
- of the country where you are located before using this
- ebook.</p></blockquote>
-
-<p>1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
-contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
-copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
-the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
-redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply
-either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or
-obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.</p>
-
-<p>1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
-with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
-must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any
-additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms
-will be linked to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works
-posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the
-beginning of this work.</p>
-
-<p>1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
-License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
-work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.</p>
-
-<p>1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
-electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
-prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
-active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm License.</p>
-
-<p>1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
-compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including
-any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access
-to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format
-other than "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official
-version posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site
-(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
-to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means
-of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original "Plain
-Vanilla ASCII" or other form. Any alternate format must include the
-full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.</p>
-
-<p>1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
-performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
-unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.</p>
-
-<p>1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
-access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-provided that</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
- the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
- you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed
- to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has
- agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
- Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid
- within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are
- legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty
- payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project
- Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in
- Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg
- Literary Archive Foundation."</li>
-
-<li>You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
- you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
- does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
- License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
- copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
- all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm
- works.</li>
-
-<li>You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of
- any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
- electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of
- receipt of the work.</li>
-
-<li>You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
- distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work or group of works on different terms than
-are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing
-from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
-Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.</p>
-
-<p>1.F.</p>
-
-<p>1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.</p>
-
-<p>1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
-LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
-INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
-DAMAGE.</p>
-
-<p>1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
-defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
-the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
-without further opportunities to fix the problem.</p>
-
-<p>1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
-OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
-LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.</p>
-
-<p>1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
-warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
-damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
-violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
-agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
-limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
-unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
-remaining provisions.</p>
-
-<p>1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
-trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
-accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
-production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
-including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause. </p>
-
-<h3 class="centra">Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm</h3>

-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future

-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.</p>
-
-<p>The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/donate">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>.</p>
-
-<p>While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.</p>
-
-<p>International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.</p>
-
-<p>Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate</p>

-<h3 class="centra">Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.</h3>
-
-<p>Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.</p>
-
-<p>Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.</p>
-
-<p>Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org</p>
-
-<p>This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.</p>
