My Big Fat Greek Blogpost

I’ve always loved the idea of Greece - the art, architecture, food, and Olympics.  Wouldn’t it have been wonderful to live in ancient Greece?  Looking at these aspects it seems like a dream, but researching about ancient Greece I realized quickly the nightmare my life would be.


In ancient Greece, women "took their social and legal status from their husband…” (ancientgreece.com).  My boyfriend is Brazilian and studying here, so according to ancient Greek society he would be considered a metic or migrant that could never acquire the full right of a citizen and I’d be in the same situation!  Yikes!!
