पेप्लॉस इसके अंग्रेजी अर्थ का उदाहरण

According to Herodotus, popular legend was that Athenian women began to wear the chiton as opposed to the peplos after several women stabbed a messenger to death with the bronze pins characteristic of that garment.

Herodotus states the dress of the women in Athens was changed from the Doric peplos to the Ionic chiton after the widows of the men killed on military expedition to Aegina stabbed and killed the sole survivor with their peplos pins, each demanding where their husband was.

They wore the Dorian peplos, with slit skirts which bared their thighs.

The Dorian peplos was made of a heavier woolen material than was common in Ionia, and was fastened at the shoulder by pins.

It was usually worn over a chiton and/or peplos, but was made of heavier drape and played the role of a cloak or shawl.
