Hairstyles in Ancient Greece In the ancient Minoan civilization the women wore their hair long with elaborately fashioned locks. Instances of hair in the Iliad: The Achaeans seem blond while the Trojans seem to have dark hair. Instances of hair in the Odyssey: Instances of Hair in Hesiod (ll. 947-949) And golden-haired Dionysus made brown-haired Ariadne, the daughter of Minos, his buxom wife: and the son of Cronos made her deathless and unageing for him. During the classical period women wore their hair long except when they were in mourning during which they cut their hair short.

World History Timeline 500 year old map of ‘America’ discovered in Munich A previously unknown version of Martin Waldseemüller’s famous world map has been disocvered in the collections of the University Library in Munich. On this map, the New World appears for the first time under the name “America”, chosen to honor the explorer Amerigo Vespucci (1451 – 1512), whom Waldseemüller erroneously regarded as the discoverer of the continent. Waldseemüller and his colleague Matthias Ringmann created the map in their workshop in the monastery of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges around the year 1507. Four other versions of the map are known to exist, and one of them was sold at auction in 2005 for $1 million. This fifth version is created in so-called globe segments, which depict the world in twelve individual segments, or rather surface wedges, which taper to a point at each end and are printed on a single sheet, like cut-outs on construction paper. When correctly arranged, they form a small globe of about 11 cm in diameter. Click here to see a detailed digital copy of the map
Ένδυση στην Αρχαία Ελλάδα Η ένδυση στον αρχαίο ελληνικό κόσμο αποτελούνταν κυρίως από τον χιτώνα, τον πέπλο, το ιμάτιον ή μανδύα και την χλαμύδα. Ιστορία και τύποι[Επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα] Το στροφίον, είδος εσωρούχου, και το επίβλημα (εσάρπα) μπορούσαν να φορεθούν και εξωτερικά. Οι επίσης άνδρες φορούσαν ένα καπέλο, τον πέτασο, ενώ οι γυναίκες φορούσαν πιο συχνά ένα διάδημα (διά + δένω) το στεφάνι. Έξω από την οικία τους φορούσαν σανδάλια από δέρμα, μπότες και άλλα υποδήματα, ενώ μέσα κυκλοφορούσαν περισσότερο ξυπόλυτοι αν και υπήρχε και υπόδημα που χρησίμευε όπως οι σημερινές παντόφλες.

Fashion History Costume Trends and Eras, Trends Victorians - Haute Couture Medieval Codex Calixtinus recovered; four arrested A medieval text stolen from the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral in northwest Spain last year was found in a nearby garage on Wednesday, after police arrested a handyman - fired after 25 years at the cathedral - and three members of his family. The Codex Calixtinus, a 12th century collection of sermons and liturgical passages, vanished last July from a safe deposit box in the cathedral, the end of the ancient pilgrimage route the Camino de Santiago. Police said they had found the elaborately illustrated manuscript, a treasured part of Spain's cultural and religious heritage, in a garage near the Galician town. The cathedral is the reputed burial place of Saint James the Greater, one of Jesus's twelve apostles who, according to tradition, went to Spain to preach Christianity. The Codex tells the story of how the apostle's remains were transferred to Santiago de Compostela and details the various routes to the town - effectively a guide for early pilgrims.
Ancient Greek Jewelry Different types of jewelry were produced in the Hellenistic period of Ancient Greece-Necklaces, earrings, pendants, pins, bracelets, armbands, thigh bands, finger rings, wreaths, diadems, and other elaborate hair ornaments. Bracelets were often worn in pairs or in matched sets. Pieces were usually inlaid with pearls and dazzling gems or semiprecious stones-emeralds, garnets, carnelians, banded agates, sardonyx, chalcedony, and rock crystal. Artists also incorporated colorful enamel inlays that dramatically contrasted with their intricate gold settings. Elaborate subsidiary ornamentation drew plant and animal motifs, or the relation between adornment and the goddess, Aphrodite, and her son, Eros. In Hellenistic times, jewelry was often passed down through generation. Gemstone Necklaces
