Chapters on Greek Dress by Maria Millington Evans is a comprehensive study of the clothing worn by ancient Greeks. The book provides a detailed analysis of the various styles of dress, including the chiton, peplos, himation, and chlamys. The author examines the materials used in making these garments, such as linen and wool, and the techniques employed in their construction. Evans also explores the social and cultural significance of Greek dress, discussing how it reflected the wearer's gender, age, and social status. She delves into the symbolism of certain clothing items, such as the phrygian cap and the himation, and how they were used to convey political and ideological messages. The book features numerous illustrations and photographs of Greek dress, as well as depictions of ancient Greek art and literature that reference clothing. Evans draws on a wide range of sources, including archaeological discoveries, historical texts, and modern scholarship, to provide a comprehensive view of Greek dress. Chapters on Greek Dress is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in ancient Greek culture, fashion history, or costume design. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the clothing of one of the world's most influential civilizations and sheds light on the ways in which dress can reflect and shape social identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
