lobelia321Thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
orlisbunny, I found this pic. It seems that my Malta-palpitations have not faded after all.
And what about those sandals, eh?
You can't see it?

Date: 2003-09-22 01:00 pm (UTC)"In short, (we) may become more open to the idea that Greek men, who are still widely considered to be the founders of the European tradition of civilisation, were nevertheless content to go about in their ordinary lives wearing a minimum of clothing and a coating of perfumed oil."
...
"There is no suggestion of a tunic always being worn underneath, and one becomes accustomed to seeing a large part of the naked male torso. The material was kept in place without the aid of pins or a belt, and practical experience with reproductions indicates that it must have required frequent adjustment in the course of a day. There is no doubt that sudden, involuntary movement would have caused the himation to slip and expose more of the body."
...
"Sometimes a short tunic, a chiton or chitoniskos, was worn underneath the chlamys ... but it clearly did not have to be. In fact, this tunic only rarely appears as the sole garment for mortal men and is most commonly seen underneath body-armour, when it was worn presumably for extra comfort."
So no boxers. No wrap-arounds. Just free-flowing tunics, if they wore something at all. *smiiiiiiles*
