The Greeks ate very little meat. Fruit was the most important food. Olives were shriveled in salt to keep longer. Ate light at breakfast and lunch the main meal was in the evening. Boys ate with the men and the girls ate with the women. Nuts and figs were considered delecasies. Olives and grapes were served at every meal. Most Greeks made a living farming.

Sparta
In Sparta the conquered were made slaves. Everyone was encouraged to fight. In military school the children had to find and kill a slave. If you got hit at school and you whined your father would whip you. When you were the age of 20 you would be able to go to war. The battle formation was 1 upperclass soldier would lead 36 soldiers at a time.
