Hi, all,
I am writing a story with elements of ancient Greece in it, and there's plenty to be found on mythology and politics and building architecture, but I want details, and I'm not sure where to find them.
Specifically, what sort of chair would a person of state sit in? What sort of ornamentation was there in a government building and the meeting room of an aristocrat? Are there any particular customs one uses when entering someone else's house? How would a subservient address their superior?
If anyone has ideas on answers, sources, or how to look for sources, I would appreciate it greatly.
