Talk:Peplos

Comments

This is absurdly imprecise. At the very least this article must provide limiting dates for the use of the peplos in antiquity. The study of ancient dress is well advanced now, so there is surely something on the Roccos bibliography that could provide an answer. Is no one willing to do any research on the subject?

Add a space: (The Caryatid statues show atypical drapery.) Should read "a typical drapery". (add a space) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.87.1.46 (talk) 19:16, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

I fixed "atypical" by adding a space as required. TheDean (talk) 20:04, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Yes - and also self-contradictory. The garment is said to be 'tubular' but is also open at one edge. This must make it rectangular. I have changed the text accordingly, and wait to be corrected.Andrewg4oep (talk) 07:19, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Dubious description

At present, the lead contains this description

It was a long, rectangular cloth with the top edge folded down about halfway, so that what was the top of the rectangle was now draped below the waist, and the bottom of the rectangle was at the ankle.

That suggests that the wearer was naked from the waist up and had a double layer of cloth below the waist! None of the sculptures show any such thing and the statement is uncited. Can anyone provide a citation that has a competent description that can be quoted? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 12:29, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Given that the text above is obvious nonsense, I have replaced it completely with the section from Clothing in ancient Greece#Peplos, for which this is supposed to be the wp:main article. This at least is properly cited. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:17, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
