4. Social Structure
• The men that were free in Ancient Greece were
men that owned land, had money and was born
in the same place he lived in. On the other hand
slaves had no power at all and were bought by
families that needed help keeping organised. A
family that had a slave would have to give there
slave food, water, and other basic needs, as the
person was now there property. In a family the
slave would cook clean and do jobs no one else in
the family wanted to do.
5. Houses in the city
Men and women lived in different parts of the house, women lived in the back and upstairs part of the house, and men
lived anywhere else. Almost all houses in Greek villages were made of stone or clay , and the roof of a house would be
covered in tiles, or reeds. In Ancient Greece each house would usually have one or two floors, and the floor in each house
would be made of tiles, so that the floor wouldn’t get to hot. The Greek houses were designed for the hot summers, and
also to hold the heat for winter.

7. Food and Drinks of Ancient Greece
• In Ancient Greece humans ate
sea food such as fish, squid,
and octopus. Food like this
was very healthy because sea
food contains vitamins and
other nutrients. Also in most
families the mother and
daughter would usually cook
the meals and the husband
would shop for the food. The
drinks people had in Ancient
Greece included mainly wine
and water. Two other foods
that were important to the
Greek culture were cheese
and olives.

Greece you would be lucky to get in school.
Also in Canada it’s legal to have slaves so that
kids can’t get abused. And in ancient Greece
