        Absolutely foul and kitsch. Look at their ugly Slavic faces and bodies completely lacking the grace and elegance that characterized the Greek statues. Why you would choose this picture to go along with your post boggles the mind.

          lol I expanded the thumbnail and thats one of the most revolting things ive ever seen
          the type of people who revere bouguereau and french academic kitsch as "high art"
          also none of the "greek statues" people post are actual greek statues

          alas its best not to stomp on people too hard I think its good that people are showing an interest in antiquity

      eating more meat
      Meat was very expensive and only something you'd eat occasionally. They ate mostly veggies, fruits, grains, dairy, nuts and fish.

        this is not even remotely true and youd know that if you read the iliad or plato or any other primary source that mentions what they ate
        only slaves subsisted on grains and plant foods, the notion that the ancient greek diet was mostly nutritionless slop and rarely fish and meat is based on pure speculation (and cope)

        citizens ate mostly milk, meat, fish, fruits, and honey, ie the most nutritionally dense foods that exist
        for the citizens good food was incredibly abundant and during their festivals they would have exorbitant feasts

        It was a common opinion among philosophers.

        It was a doctrine that orignated among the pythagoreans.

        Read seneca, who says it also, and read Porphory who also says it.

        > 17. Inasmuch as I have begun to explain to you how much greater was my impulse to approach philosophy in my youth than to continue it in my old age, I shall not be ashamed to tell you what ardent zeal Pythagoras inspired in me. Sotion[12] used to tell me why Pythagoras abstained from animal food, and why, in later times, Sextius did also. In each case, the reason was different, but it was in each case a noble reason. 18. Sextius believed that man had enough sustenance without resorting to blood, and that a habit of cruelty is formed whenever butchery is practised for pleasure. Moreover, he thought we should curtail the sources of our luxury; he argued that a varied diet was contrary to the laws of health, and was unsuited to our constitutions. 19. Pythagoras, on the other hand, held that all beings were inter-related, and that there was a system of exchange between souls which transmigrated from one bodily shape into another. If one may believe him, no soul perishes or ceases from its functions at all, except for a tiny interval – when it is being poured from one body into another.

          I think that's just one guy's opinion, not the usual practice at the time?

          > We may question at what time and after what seasons of change the soul returns to man, when it has wandered through many a dwelling-place; but meantime, he made men fearful of guilt and parricide, since they might be, without knowing it, attacking the soul of a parent and injuring it with knife or with teeth – if, as is possible, the related spirit be dwelling temporarily in this bit of flesh! 20. When Sotion had set forth this doctrine, supplementing it with his own proofs, he would say: "You do not believe that souls are assigned, first to one body and then to another, and that our so-called death is merely a change of abode? You do not believe that in cattle, or in wild beasts, or in creatures of the deep, the soul of him who was once a man may linger? You do not believe that nothing on this earth is annihilated, but only changes its haunts? And that animals also have cycles of progress and, so to speak, an orbit for their souls, no less than the heavenly bodies, which revolve in fixed circuits? Great men have put faith in this idea; 21. therefore, while holding to your own view, keep the whole question in abeyance in your mind. If the theory is true, it is a mark of purity to refrain from eating flesh; if it be false, it is economy. And what harm does it do to you to give such credence? I am merely depriving you of food which sustains lions and vultures."

    Was wine in ancient Greece the same kind of wine we drink today? I know Roman wine was nothing like modern wine.

      yes, but they would usually water it down at a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio, and there was a lot of stigma attached to actually getting wasted, but that was more of a roman thing

        Did they drink white wine too or only red? And do you have any recommended sources to learn more about everyday life in ancient Greece and Rome?
