20 Αυγ 2018 · An rectangular cloak wrapped around the body and thrown over the left shoulder worn by the ancient Greeks. The Details. Webster’s Dictionary offers a very basic definition of a himation: “A rectangular cloth draped over the left shoulder and about the body and worn as a garment in ancient Greece.”
The himation was a large cloak, always orthogonal, unlike the Roman toga, which had some shaping. Like the toga, however, it appears to have had a variety of cultural meanings, depending on its proportion and how it was worn.
Greek women wore himations in public as warm cloaks over their thin Ionic chitons (a type of tunic). Women wore himations in a variety of different styles, such as the symmetrical and the transverse himations.
A himation (Ancient Greek: ἱμάτιον, /hɪˈmætiˌɒn/, hə-MAT-ee-un) was a type of clothing, a mantle or wrap worn by ancient Greek men and women from the Archaic through the Hellenistic periods (c. 750–30 BC). It was usually worn over a chiton and/or peplos, but was made of heavier drape and played the role of a cloak or shawl.
Clothing for both women and men consisted of two main garments—a tunic (either a peplos or chiton) and a cloak (himation). The peplos was simply a large rectangle of heavy fabric, usually wool, folded over along the upper edge so that the overfold (apoptygma) would reach to the waist.
