Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the significance of the **tainia**, a woven hair ribbon, in ancient Greece, a ubiquitous fashion accessory worn by all classes of men, both young and old, regardless of whether they were at home, at war, in the fields, or attending religious festivals. The author challenges the previous interpretations that the tainia was a victory symbol or a sacred headband reserved only for victors in athletic contests. Through numerous examples from literature and art, the book reveals the diverse purposes of the ribbon, including those of friendship, servitude, or simply as a means of keeping hair in place. The author concludes that the headband was a vibrant and essential part of everyday life, symbolizing love, friendship, and celebration in the ancient Greek world.
