Ancient Greek living habits and wedding customs .

1, living habits:

Greeks are proud of ancient history, monuments, philosophy, art, politics, so for the same long history of the Chinese people have a fairly good feeling, but the topic of conversation should try to avoid talking about the domestic politics of Greece as well as Greece and neighboring countries, so as not to get into the predicament of losing words.

In some villages in Greece, on New Year's Day, Greeks bring a stone as a gift to their friends and relatives and place it on the floor to wish the hosts: "May your house have a piece of gold as big as this stone.

2, wedding customs:

Ancient Greek marriage was a social relationship based on responsibility. Generally, marriages in Ancient Greece were arranged by parents, and there were few specialized matchmakers.

Each city-state also had its own different and independent marriage laws due to its political independence. In order to make a marriage legal, the woman's father or guardian (female orphans were raised by uncles or cousins) would betroth the woman to a suitable man who could afford the marriage.

Marriage in ancient Greece was thus itself a social relationship governed by law. The institution of marriage concerned not only the public **** interest of the city-state, but also the joint interest of the ancient Greek family and the inheritance of property by individuals.
