Ancient Greek Soldier
Did the Greeks wear pants in ancient times?
I noticed in most movies set in ancient Greece, the men often wore short skirts. Especially the soldiers, they wore armour with short skirts. I don't know if they had pants.
Ancient Greek men mostly wore a tunic, a sort of knee-length t-shirt made of wool or linen , like you said. Greek women wore one large piece of wool or linen, wrapped around them and pinned in various ways to make it stay. I guess the climate made pants impractical.
Pants and trousers were originaly associated with the Persians , Schytians, Celts and Germans ,who originated in colder areas. Many Greeks thought that wearing trousers was a sign of barbarism or effiminate behaviour, and often went naked.

Athens vs Sparta, Sokratis and ancient Greece part 1 HQ
How is it possible Macedonia to be Greek when Greece change all the toponyms in Aegean Macedonia in 1936 ?
Macedonian language is an extension of ancient Macedonian, Homerus in origine wrote in Macedonian. History tells that Philipus and Alexander, when angry, yelled to the soldiers on Macedonian, which was completely strange to the Greeks.
By far the most unhistorical question I’ve ever seen!!!! (I bet solun has something to do with this question!!! Homer wrote his famous epics in Slavic-Macedonian??? Can you please inform me who uneducated person claims that?)
Modern Slav-Macedonian has no relation with the ancient (Greek)Macedonian.
The ancient (Greek) Macedonian was a Greek dialect. The strongest evidence is the archaeological discoveries! All the monuments of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia are pure Greek. All the inscriptions are written in Greek, all the coins are written in Greek, all the tombs and the names of the dead are pure Greek. There was never found anything with any “lost” or “unknown” language. Alexander the Great spread the Greek language and he is responsible for the creation of a brand new version the famous “koine” or “Alexander’s Greek”.
All the toponyms of the authentic(Greek) Macedonia are the SAME toponyms that were originally used by the ancient (Greek)Macedonians. And of course all those names are pure Greek. All these Greek names originate from the ancient times and they are found in scripted and in the coinage of the ancient (Greek) Macedonians and consequently they are much older than the Slavic(Bulgarian) alternatives.
All of these names are still used such as the capital Thessalonici, the ancient capital of Pella and Aigai and Anthemous, Almopia, Amphaxitis, Bisaltia, Botiaia, Chakildiki, Edonis, Elimeia, Eordaia, Krestonia, Lynkests, Mygdonia, Odomantis, Orestis, Pieria, Sintiki, Thassos, Tymphaea, and more! All the ancient Macedonian names mentioned in history or found on tombs are Greek. All the kings of Ancient Macedonia had Greek names. Let me give you a small list of the Greek names of the Macedonians
Alexandros(Alexander) , Phillipos (Philip), Ifestion, Antipatros, Antiochos Lyssimachos , Ptolemeos, Antigonos ,Seleukos, Parmenion, Perdicas Hermias Anaksarxos, Marsias, Zoilos, Deinokratis, Aristoboulos ,Aristokritos, Thessalos ,Argeos, Pausanias, Eumenes , Kassandros, Krateros, Arrianos, Philotas, Cleitos, Neoptolemos, Python, Hippostratos, Attalos, Kleitarxos, Polyperchon, Aristandros, Polycratis, Bolon, Koinos, Iolaos, Xenokratis , Deukalos, Arrhideos ,Charidimos , Kalas, Perseas, Meleagros, Arpalos, and hundred more names found written on their tombs!!!
A for history just a small sample of what Alexander HIMSELF has said is documented by Plutarchos:
"But Alexander said : “If I were not Alexandros, I should be Diogenes'; that is to say: `If it were not my purpose to combine barbarian things with things Greek, to traverse and civilize every continent, to search out the uttermost parts of land and sea, to push the bounds of Macedonia to the farthest Ocean, and to diseminate and shower the blessings of the Greek justice and peace over every nation, …. But as things are, forgive me Diogenes, that I imitate Herakles, and emulate Perseus, and follow in the footsteps of Dionysos, the divine author and progenitor of my family, and desire that victorious GREEKS should dance again in India and revive the memory of the Bacchic revels among the savage mountain tribes beyond the Kaukasos... "(Plutarchos, On the Fortune of Alexander, 332 a-b)
And let’s see some respectful historians what they say about ancient Macedonian. Nicholas G. L. Hammond,
"What language did these `Macedones' speak? The name itself is Greek in root and in ethnic termination. It probably means `highlanders', and it is comparable to Greek tribal names such as `Orestai' and `Oreitai', meaning 'mountain-men'. A reputedly earlier variant, `Maketai', has the same root, which means `high', as in the Greek adjective makednos or the noun mekos. The genealogy of eponymous ancestors which Hesiod recorded [.] has a bearing on the question of Greek speech. First, Hesiod made Macedon a brother of Magnes; as we know from inscriptions that the Magnetes spoke
the Aeolic dialect of the Greek language, we have a predisposition to suppose that the Macedones spoke the Aeolic dialect.
Secondly, Hesiod made Macedon and Magnes first cousins of Hellen's three sons - Dorus, Xouthus, and Aeolus-who were the founders of three dialects of Greek speech, namely Doric, Ionic, and Aeolic. Hesiod would not have recorded this relationship, unless he had believed, probably in the seventh century, that the Macedones were a Greek speaking people. The next evidence comes from Persia. At the turn of the sixth century the Persians described the tribute-paying peoples of their province in Europe, and one of them was the `yauna takabara', which meant `Greeks wearing the hat'. There were
Greeks in Greek city-states here and there in the province, but they were of various origins and not distinguished by a common hat. However, the Macedonians wore a distinctive hat, the kausia. We conclude that the Persians believed the Macedonians to be speakers of Greek. Finally, in the latter part of the fifth century a Greek historian, Hellanicus, visited Macedonia and modified Hesiod's genealogy by making Macedon not a cousin, but a son of Aeolus, thus bringing Macedon and his descendants firmly into
the Aeolic branch of the Greek-speaking family. Hesiod, Persia, and Hellanicus had no motive for making a false statement about the language of the Macedonians, who were then an obscure and not a powerful people. Their independent testimonies should be accepted as conclusive (N.G.L. Hammond, The Macedonian State, p.12-13
And of course professor Eugene BORZA :“ Eugene N. Borza, ‘Makedonika’
Regina Books, Claremont CA : "Our understanding of the Macedonians' emergence into history is confounded by two events: the establishment of the Macedonians as an identifiable ethnic group, and the foundation of their ruling house. The "HIGHLANDERS" or "MAKEDONES" of the mountainous regions of western Macedonia ARE DERIVED FROM NORTHWEST GREEK STOCK; THEY WERE AKIN BOTH TO THOSE WHO AT AN EARLIER TIME MAY HAVE MIGRATED SOUTH TO BECOME THE HISTORICAL "DORIANS", and to other Pindus tribes who were the ancestors of the Epirotes or Molossians. That is, we may suggest that NORTHWEST GREECE PROVIDED A POOL OF INDO-EUROPEAN SPEAKERS OF PROTO-GREEK from which were drawn the tribes who later were known by different names as they established their regional identities in separate parts of the country." -"First, the matter of the Greek origins of the Macedonians: Nicholas Hammond's general conclusion (though not the details of his arguments)that the origin of the Macedonians lies in the pool of proto-Greek speakers who migrated out of the Pindus mountains during the Iron Age, is acceptable."
Modern Slavic-Macedonian, is a language in the Eastern group of South Slavic languages. Slavic-Macedonian is closely related to and mutually intelligible with Standard Bulgarian. It also has some similarities with standard Serbian and is closest to the intermediate Torlakian and Shop dialects spoken mostly in southern Serbia and in western Bulgaria. In linguistics, mutual intelligibility is a property exhibited by a set of languages when speakers of any one of them can readily understand all the others without intentional study or extraordinary effort. And that is all!
