What we knoe of ancient Greece relates more to its political institutions.its artsm its architecture . its litrature ,its history,its philosophy.etc.but very litle about its agriculture.This is because the ideas concerning the rural life in ancient Greece are dispersed in a few fragments of its litrature,particular- ly in its pastorals.About eight decades ago.Mr.St.John's History of the Manners and Customs of Ancient Greece was published in which the author had collected all that could possibly be known on the subject.Based on this work.a lengthj accont off the "rural Life in Greece"was given in No.34 of "Chamber's Repository"published in the fifties of the last century.The material for the following account of agriculture in ancient Greece has been taken from the latter publication.
