Blogpost 4: Fashion in Atlantis

Some people says you can see the attitude of a person in their suit, in their fashion. You can see what class of a person he/she was because of his/her fashion or outfit. I found a quote by Gilbert K. Chesterton, he said “The present condition of fame is merely fashion.” This quotes means that they way you dress up yourself it will reflect on your personality. In Atlantis, the goddesses have their on fashion. They have their own style to look presentable to other people. 

Ancient Greek fashion and clothing is very different from the clothing we wear today. There were two main types of clothing. One was called a Doric Chiton, and the other is referred to as an Ionic Chiton. They were very similar, but a Doric Chiton was a little longer than and Ionic Chiton. They were mostly made of wool. They were colored yellow, brown, red, and sometimes blue. Patterns and borders were sown on for decoration. Women generally wore a Doric Chiton which were considered to be a traditional dress. If for some reason they did wear an Ionic Chiton then they would wear another piece of fabric over it. Women didn"t wear hats. However, they did wear ribbons, scarves, and jewelery. Men usually wore a shorter version of an Ionic Chiton. When it was cold they would wear cloaks over the top. They wore hats pestasos when they traveled. Otherwise, they wore a hat called a pilos.

In the article entitled "God Dresses Differently Here" in the website "Turk's Head review", it says the goddess dress like this because they dress like a winner.

In the movie Clash of the Titans, the warriors dress like this because this suit protects the warrior against their opponent.

The warriors are fighting for their position, for their loved ones and others. They dress symbolizes their personality. When you are wearing properly and presentable, you have a high position in one place. If your attire has something hard or have some protection in your attire, it is for warriors fighting their opponents and if you are not wearing too unfavorable attire you are a slave or hard to place your jurisdiction. Based on I found about people living in Atlantis and about their clothes, I now believe to be able to see your identity or conduct your outside appearance.

This research about fashion of the goddess, the warriors and slaves makes this topic more interesting because the way the goddesses, the warriors and the slave dress up is very different from our generation now a days.
