I looked up ancient Greek
culture and several of the first few things that I found mentioned slaves, social cues, fashion, and games.
Of course, that made me think of the 1860s and of my role as a “Southern Belle” at the Civil War
reenactments back home. For several summers, I played the role of a southern
slave-owning lady with the intricate outfits. There were a lot of social,
fashion, and cultural cues that were strictly held to (in both the 1860s and in
ancient Greece) that I got to abide by as a re-enactor.
