What did Homer wear as clothing?

Answer 1

Homer, the ancient Greek poet traditionally credited with composing epic works like the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey," lived in a time (around the 8th century BCE) when clothing typically consisted of simple garments made from wool or linen. Men often wore a chiton, a type of tunic, sometimes belted, while women wore a longer chiton or a peplos. Both garments were usually draped and did not have fastenings, relying instead on the wearer's body and a belt for support. Footwear was minimal, often consisting of simple sandals or going barefoot.
