Athena paper doll and Greek historical fashion

Dear reader,

I didn’t want to share my Athena paper doll because the fashion illustration was historically inaccurate.  It was silly, so here it is in its imperfect glory.

Minerva was Athena in Rome

Atenea is Spanish

Atena in Italian

Since Athena’s name is extremely ancient, the sound of the letter Eta (uppercase Ξ—, lowercase Ξ·) has changed in the thousands of years of Athena’s reach. This is why she has been Athena, Athene. I have to look more into this because I also saw her name spelled with an Alpha at the end, which corresponds to our modern Athena.

This dress turned out wrong, attempted a tied look on the waist, but the skirt should be pleated and fall at her sides.

Now that I have shown you my defective work, I will have to finish it. I have a second page where I stopped. It has a shield and another dress that also made me feel I had done a poor job.

Ancient Greek fashion

The ancient Greeks didn’t have sewing machines. They used fabrics and tied them into dresses.

Even in Rome, dresses called Stolas in Latin (the equivalent of togas for males) were very large tied fabrics.

The reason why my design is wrong is that it doesn’t look tied, which should give a very pleated look that fell very close to the body.

I tried, but I created a modern look, which is alright, but I will try my hand at this again.

I will perfect this design, and we will talk more about ancient Greek clothing. The next paper doll will be better, I promise.

Of course, you can print this one and use it in your homeschooling practice.

With Love,
