ABOUT US EVENTS LEARN! FOLKLORE ... CREDITS COSTUMES FROM OTHER PARTS OF GREECE ASIA MINOR: PONTOS The Pontian dress was an urban costume, in accordance with the eastern models which began life in the center of Hellenism at that time, Constantinople. This phenomenon was to be observed in most urban centers of the Ottoman Empire. Underneath the ladies wore a fine silk chemise, the bodice and sleeves of which were trimmed with crocheted lace, and then a pair of silk or satin breeches. Next came the well-known urban style kavadi , open at the front and with two side openings down to the hips. This garment was always lined and decorated round the hem with silk ribbon and delicate embroidery. Round the hips was wound a large silk scarf, trimmed with fringe of silk thread, folded into a triangle. With the birth of the first child, this scarf was replaced by one made of fine striped taffeta which was tied at the back, hanging down like an apron on the front. It was carefully ironed into ten-centimeter-wide horizontal creases. Silk jabots were positioned on the bodice, trimmed with white silk embroidery and crocheted lace or gold stitching. On top of this went a sleeved waistcoat, originally of black felt and later of dark-colored velvet decorated with silver stitches. From the wedding day onwards the bride wore a silk- covered disc decorated with a row of little coins that hung across the forehead. Dora Stratou Theater OLD ATHENS: THE BRIDAL COSTUME The girl's costume, particularly her festival one, is composed of pieces with a very old formal tradition. The matchmaking process began when the children were still very young. Care was taken to ensure that both children were in the same social class. During the engagement and right up to the wedding the young people never met; they did, however, exchange gifts. What the girl's dowry contained depended on her social class and wealth. When the time came, the bridal outfit was prepared. The bride's hair was washed with henna, then it was braided into small plaits (about 40). Gold and silk thread the color of the bride's hair was woven into it. Her female relatives helped the bride put on her very expensive bridal outfit. They put on the

We think today of "Greece" as consisting of the modern political entity of Greece. In antiquity, however, the Greek world spanned far beyond the borders of the modern country, which is best to view as the Greek homeland (often referred to as Mainland Greece). Beginning as early as the 11th century B.C., the ancient Greeks colonized the coastal regions of other parts of the Mediterranean and Black Sea, so that by the 6th century B.C. Greek settlements extended from modern Georgia (on the eastern shore of the Black Sea) all the way to Spain. Among the modern countries included in the ancient world of the Greeks are the Ukraine, Roumania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Italy (including Sicily), France, and Spain. The conquest of the Persian Empire by Alexander the Great (from 334 to 323 B.C.) served to spread Greeks and Greek culture even further into the east, to the banks of the Euphrates river and on to Afghanistan. Still today, communities of ethnic Greeks are to be found in such far-flung parts as Egypt, Turkey, and the Crimea the Greek diaspora. Modern cities that were originally Greek colonies or settlements include Alexandria in Egypt, Istanbul in Turkey, Syracuse in Sicily, and Marseilles in France.

T HE W INES OF P ELOPONNESOS AND A RCADIA From the Book: THE WINES OF GREECE By Miles Lambert Peloponnessos Central and Southern Areas Classical Reflections Gastronomic Notes ... Back to Menu Page F rom the antiquity wine was one of the main economic resources of Greece. At the same time, it played and plays a special role in the Greeks lives. Dionysus (Bachus), the good of wild vegetation at the beginning, was associated with the grape and wine almost exclusively. Viticulture started in Greece around the 15 century B.C. A possible route it followed to come to was from Phoenicea to Crete, from there to Naxos and the rest of Greece followed. Greeks learned the art of wine-making from Egypt and Phoenicea. They brought it in their country and applied it widely and extensively. After that they became the best winemakers. Moreover, by their travels and colonisations on many Mediterranean coasts, they brought the wine to Southern Europe and set the basis of modern viticulture. Peloponnesos is one of the most important and traditional greek areas from the point of view of wine quality, variety and production. From the same viewpoint, the region of ancient and even modern Arcadia holds an exceptional position among the Peloponnesian regions. The following extract of the book "The Wines of Greece"
