Most houses were two story, Orange like rigid roof, off white walls and a little 

outdoor area. 

For breakfast they would have bread (made from barley) dipped in wine or some would
have tiganites which resembles a pancake usually topped with cheese and/or milk. For
lunch the Greeks would dine on light foods because for them, lunch was more like a
midday snack. Light foods would be figs, salted fish, cheese, olives and more bread ,

For dinner men and women would eat separately.
They would eat basically the same as lunch but with a bigger portion.

- what did a family look like?

Men had to live in military barracks until they turned 30, so it is very rare for them to
see their wifes or children. For most places, wherever men went women were not
allowed to go to. The woman were in charge of the home. 

- what was sanitation like?

 The Greeks were often very clean but most did not own private water supply,
only the wealthiest did.Because there was no proper sewage system, their water
mainly came from public fountains and wells. They would wash themselves with large
pots, used sponges, olive oil as soap and then would rinse with the pot of water.
