Life was extremely provincial, with just one major carriage-road passing through the center of the large province of Boeotia even in the 1930s (beyond which horseback and cart took over; van Effenterre 1989).
In the 1930s, life was confined to a single major road that ran through the heart of the large province of Boeotia. Beyond this road, travel by horseback or cart became the norm (van Effenterre, 1989).
