I wasnt awear you wore much even when you werent swimming aphrodite... lol! mrgreen
its not a bad thing though, you are ahead of your times in some respects, the 1960's must have been heaven for you. 3nodding
Just that most traditional pictures of you show you as the one of the only goddess' ever portaryed as naked. sweatdrop

I wasnt completely naked; I wore jewelry...

And yes the 1960's was alot of fun... The philosphies of the time really did agree with my own... I really miss the body painting and the suburban swingers...
Dionysus, Apollo and I even went to Woodstock ( I only stayed for one day though, I couldn't stand the smell...)

Its funny, I mostly see these in Assassin's Creed games. With farmers and a couple mailmen. (which I kill for gold, or steal... mostly kill)
But it also reminds me of the descriptions of Noah, Moses, Adam and Ever after they left the garden. And a few biblical characters.

I think you're mixing up the Greek Khiton with the Italian, Hellenistically influenced Tunica, worn with the Toga.

As for Abrahamic apparel, we don't know what they wore, but most of the artwork we see of them is from the Renaissance period, which portrayed all it's subjects in classical attire, however ahistorical.
