A form of Ancient Greek entertainment that is still happening today is street art, such as busking. In the city in Ancient Greece, it was popular for poets and singers of any ability to perform on the streets. In ancient Greece, the entertainers were travelling performers. And people used to refer to them if they wanted to know the news from other places, because there was no newspapers, T.V or internet. So travelling street artists delivered the news even if it was a little out of date - but it was still the fastest way to know the news.

MUSICGreeks, especially rich ones, had a lot of leftover time to spend talking, giving dinner parties, going to the gymnasium and playing all kinds of games. Music was a very big part of entertainment. There was music played at births, weddings, weddings and funerals.

The type of musical instruments they used were harps, lyres (a type of Greek string instrument), kitharas (a type of lyre), and wind instruments such as the syrinx, and pan pipes. Greek men did not dance, and only watched dancers perform at celebrations and parties.

Women wore long chitons that went to their feet but servants wore ones that came down to their knees.  Men of higher regard wore a long robe called a himiation which they wore to show their social statusBoth men and women also wore cloaks hats shoes and sandals.Women also wore a shawl called a peplos. The Greeks also made lovely jewellery with gold and silver which was worn by the women.

 During battle the Greeks wore a bronze helmet with a crest made from horse hair, bronze leg guards called greaves and a bronze breast plate over the top of a special linen tunic with many colours on it.
