  1. A Day in a Spartan Woman’s Life By: Jenna

  2. You You are Galene, a 37 year old woman with your one child, a 3 month old boy named Belos. Your husband is out at war, so you are left alone. He won’t come back for over 3 months, so you are left to raise Belos on your own and to survive.

  3. Early Morning Galene wakes up to screaming Belos. She barely got any sleep due to Belos. It has been a week since her husband has left for war. Since the helots are already at work, Galene has to tend her baby herself.

  4. Morning Galene and Belos go to the grand dining hall in their home. A helot named Aella serves them. She is 50 years old and not married. After Galene and her son eats, they go to the great room.

  5. Early Afternoon In the great room, Galene writes a letter to her sister, Adonia. Belos goes to sleep on the floor. Galene wishes her sister a happy birthday and how she misses her. A helot will deliver the note to Adonia in about a day.

  6. Afternoon Belos wakes up from his nap. Galene and Belos go to the dining hall for lunch. Their lunch consisted of grapes and bread. It was a good meal. They had water to drink.

  7. Late Afternoon Galene and Belos go for a walk in the town market square. They buy flowers, fruits, wine, and olives. As she is walking home, she spots her friend Agape. Galene invites her and her child for dinner at her home. Agape agrees and promises to bring wine her elderly father had just made a week before.

  8. Early Evening Agape and her son comes over for dinner. Both women are excited to be with someone other than their sons. Their sons have been their only company for the past week. They have a meal of pork stew and bread. Galene loved Agape’s father’s wine.

  9. Evening After putting Belos to bed, Galene wishes her friend goodbye. She writes in her diary about that day. The helots made her tea from herbs in the garden. The helots bathed her. She was getting tired.

  10. Late Evening A helot named Airlia brings Galene to bed. She says goodnight and blows out the candle. Galene falls asleep, so she won’t be tired for the next day.
