I was wondering if someone could tell me where I can find info. on the kinds of plants that the Greek farmers grew, and if individuals had their own little gardens for private use. What kinds of things did they eat? And what did the Persians grow and eat?When they cooked up supper what kinda things ...

I was under the impression that Heph. was a very large man, larger than Alexander, would this not have any bearing on who was erastes?

Hi Cyrus,I can't say that I understand why some Iranians so closely equate Alexander and America. I know we derived a lot of things from the arts of Greece but didn't every culture?
