The Coloring of Ancient Greece
|
|
Thanks to a couple of millennia of archaeological excavations, we've had a pretty good idea for some time now what life was like in Ancient Greece. Who knew we were picturing it wrong for so long? It's widely accepted that the Greeks lived among beautiful white marble buildings, adorned with white marble statues of heroes both real and mythological. The reality is of course, that Ancient Greek buildings were painted with quite vivid colors. Likewise, statuary was also painted to make the images appear more lifelike.
