of defense compounds) (Stamp 2004, Barto and Cippolini 2005). A key premise of this hypothesis is that defense is costly. Due to the high structural complexity of defense compounds in sponges it can be assumed that in many cases their biosynthesis is, indeed, metabolically expensive (Paul 1992, Pawlik 1993).
What clothes did the ancient Greeks wear? Ancient Greeks made their clothing from wool or linen and wore heavier clothing in colder temperatures. They fastened their clothing with pins, belts and buttons. Men in ancient Greece wore broad-brimmed hats outdoors, particularly for horseback riding. The chiton was typically made from linen and was a lightweight garment for warmer temperatures. The heavier wool tunic was called a peplos and was floor-length.
Materials. Clothes in Greece were made out of three types of materials. The most frequently used material was wool, which was woven from very coarse to very soft. Women and men in Greece wore nearly the same kind of clothes. These clothes were not shaped or fitted to the body, but were instead draped over the body in soft folds.
