In 399 BC, life expectancy in Athens, Greece, was relatively low by modern standards, typically ranging from 20 to 30 years, largely due to high infant mortality rates, disease, and limited medical knowledge. Many individuals who survived childhood could expect to live into their 40s or 50s. Factors such as social status, gender, and occupation also influenced life expectancy, with women generally living shorter lives due to childbirth complications. Overall, the average life span reflected the harsh realities of ancient life.
