Myth Costume Materials That Ancient Greeks Actually Used
Wool stood as the primary fabric for myth costume creation in ancient Greece.
Women spun and wove most garments at home using local sheep's wool.
Linen came next - reserved for special occasions and religious ceremonies.

Greeks rarely cut their fabric.
Instead, they draped and pinned garments using metal clasps called fibulae.
Each pin placement changed how the costume hung and moved.

Purple meant royalty - only the wealthy could afford this rare dye.
White symbolized purity - priests wore it during religious rituals.
Our sacred symbol wear keeps these color traditions alive.
Seasonal Myth Costume Changes in Ancient Greece
Summer called for light, single-layer chitons.
Winter brought the himation - a heavy wool cloak wrapped for warmth.
Travelers used the chlamys - a short cloak perfect for movement.

- Gold wreaths marked nobility
- Silver arm bands showed warrior status
- Bronze rings indicated citizenship
Special Occasion Myth Costume Rules
