Ancient history

What did girls do for fun in ancient Greece?

Girls in ancient Greece were typically educated at home by their mothers or by a female slave who had been specially trained as a teacher. The curriculum for girls was limited compared to that of boys, and mostly focused on practical skills such as weaving, cooking, and childcare. Some girls from wealthy families might also learn reading and writing, but this was not common.

For entertainment, girls might play games such as ball or skittles, or they might watch the boys play sports. They might also attend religious festivals or participate in theatrical performances. However, girls were generally expected to be modest and retiring, and their social activities were typically restricted compared to those of boys.
