Chances are really good that no one used to today's conveniences would enjoy living in ancient Greece. Even if you're of a high status, it still would not offer many of the niceties of today.

With that aside it would also greatly depend on which status you are.

The majority of the people lived a life of grinding poverty. Even the so-called wealthy were no in the millionaire league. The early status class was 200 measures of produce put you into the independent class. 300 measures the upper class, 500 measures the top class. Yet 200 measures was bwrely subsistence for a family, so the 500 level was not exactly rich.

However they made the best of it, enriching an otherwise pedestrian life with theatre, religious festivals, gymnasium, and warfare.

For women it was different - kept in the home in virtual purdah, keeping house and raising children, getting out only for the occasional women's religious festival.

For slaves, they were merely property to be used and abused, male and female.
