DAILY LIFE IN ANCIENT GREECE
►Ancient
Greece had a warm, dry climate,
as Greece does today. Most people lived by
farming, fishing and trade. Others were
soldiers, scholars, scientists and artists.
Greek cities had beautiful temples with
stone columns and statues, and open-air
theatres where people sat to watch plays.
