I chose this image because it shows how people would have dressed according to their economic status or class. I can incorporate this into my Clytemnestra design because of her status as queen she would not dress the same way a travler would

Around 480 BC, Greek clothing, especially men's, was extremely simple. It often featured nothing more than what's known as the "Chitoniskos" and a simple belt. This is a long, rectangular "tube" that pulls up and pins at the shoulders and was made of linen, or more commonly, wool. It is usually shown being belted from what we suspect was hemp rope, leather, or a length of material.
