what is the greek term for the men's quarters of an ancient greek house
Oikos Traditional interpretations of the layout of the oikos in Classical Athens have divided into men's and women's spaces, with an area known as the gynaikon or gynaikonitis associated with women's activities such as cooking and textiles work,[4] and an area restricted to men called the andron.[5] In Lysias' speech On the Murder of Eratosthenes, the women's rooms were said to be situated above the men's quarters,[6] while in Xenophon the women's and men's quarters are next to one another.[7]
Greco-Roman world The Greco-Roman world, Greco-Roman culture, or the term Greco-Roman (/ˌɡrikoʊˈroʊmən/ or /ˌɡrɛkoʊˈroʊmən/); spelled Graeco-Roman in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth), when used as an adjective, as understood by modern scholars and writers, refers to those geographical regions and countries that culturally (and so historically) were directly, long-term, and intimately influenced by the language, culture, government and religion of the ancient Greeks and Romans. It is also better known as the Classical Civilisation. In exact terms the area refers to the "Mediterranean world", the extensive tracts of land centered on the Mediterranean and Black Sea basins, the "swimming-pool and spa" of the Greeks and Romans, i.e. one wherein the cultural perceptions, ideas and sensitivities of these peoples were dominant.
