GIANNIS'S WAY OF RECONSTRUCTING ANCIENT GREECE
RECONSTRUCTING ANCIENT GREECE
THE ANCIENT GREEK HANDBOOK
Compared with other cultures and eras, Ancient Greek reenactment is still in its infancy. This is hardly due to lack of interest by people around the world, on the contrary Ancient Greek culture is quite popular in many circles, and reconstruction is one of them. However the relative lack of concrete evidence even about the most mundane objects, like their clothing and cooking utensils, as well as the complexity with which these were constructed back in the day, make Greek reenactment a very challenging endeavor. This website seeks to present a refference point for the new, as well as the experienced reenactor for all things concerning bringing Archaic and Classical Greece to life.
The backbone of good reenactment is the quality "humble" objects.
