A Peplos is a traditional garment worn by women in ancient Greece, particularly during the Archaic and Classical periods. It is a simple, rectangular piece of cloth, usually made of wool, that is draped around the body and fastened at the shoulders. The peplos often reached the ankles and was typically worn over a chiton, another type of garment. The peplos was commonly associated with the goddess Athena, especially during the Panathenaic Festival, where a new peplos was presented to her statue. This garment symbolized both modesty and elegance, reflecting the cultural values of ancient Greek society.
