  6. The soil in Ancient Greece The soil in ancient Greece was not very good for growing things, so people did not move there as fast as they did to Egypt and Mesopotamia.  Ancient Greeks did manage to grow food, though, however it took harder work to take care of gardens than it did in other areas nearby. Back to Room 1

  7. The Greek’s had a very healthy diet During the summer, the Greeks would eat fruits, vegetables, and herbs that were either from the garden or transported from nearby countries.  In winter, they ate apples, chestnuts, lentils and cheeses.  There was no sugar, but honey could be bought from the mountains. These could all be eaten raw or could be cooked into another dish. Back to Room 1

  8. Seafood was very popular Seafood was a favorite in ancient Greece.  Since Greece is a peninsula, people could get it easily to eat and could use it for trade.  Greeks ate any edible seafood, but fish and eel were most common.  Seafood was boiled, fried, simmered, grilled, and baked. Back to Room 1

  9. Fire for was used for cooking Stoves had not been invented yet, so all Greeks used a fire to cook.  If there was enough money, a family could buy a hearth for their house.  If not, they would cook over a regular fire. Back to Room 1

  10. Olives in Ancient Greece Olive trees were able to grow on their own in ancient Greece without being farmed, although many Greek farmers did have olives as one of their crops.  The olives were used for olive oil, could be eaten raw or in a dish, and was also fed to animals. Back to Room 2

  11. Barley was used for bread Bread was made out of barley, since it was easy to grow, and was eaten with every meal.  It was sometimes dunked in wine for breakfast, and at lunch and dinner it was eaten with dried fish, or some kind of fruit. Back to Room 2

  12. Grapes were made into wine Grapes were crushed to make wine.  Wine was watered down before it was drunk or had something dunked in it.  It was considered barbaric to drink wine that had not been watered down. Back to Room 2

  13. Mountains divided cities  Mountains divided cities in ancient Greece with lowlands in between.  It prevented some wars over who owned a city, but it also made it hard to farm for food with the rocky soil. Back to Room 3

  14. The ocean Because most Greeks lived near the ocean, it was easy for them to trade with other countries.  This was convenient because what the Greeks could not grow or make could be traded for with fish. Back to Room 3

  15. Ancient Greece had a hot climate Ancient Greece had very hot, dry summers, and rain fell only in winter.  This restricted most crops to grapes and olives and livestock to sheep, goats and possibly cows. Back to Room 3
