Greece: The Heights and the Depths 37 Barley was the primary grain, and the Greek's main diet was a combination of gruel and unleavened bread. Leavening was too expensive, so the masses ate the simplest fare. C. Athens' main exports were silver from the mines of Laurium, olive oil, and later, wine, which was exported throughout the Mediterranean until the Greek and Roman city-states on the Italian Peninsula developed a better wine. Date palms did not grow on Grecian soil, but the fig grew well, and became the staple food (along with olives and grapes).
Milies with no children or only one child were ex- Greece: The Heights and the Depths 51 tremely common. C. of 79 families found that 32 families had one child and 31 families had two.
