HIMATION, The.
An article of dress in the nature of a cloak, worn by both men
and women among the ancient Greeks. It "was arranged so that
the one corner was thrown over the left shoulder in front, so
as to be attached to the body by means of the left arm. On the
back the dress was pulled toward the right side, so as to
cover it completely up to the right shoulder, or, at least, to
the armpit, in which latter case the right shoulder remained
uncovered. Finally, the himation was again thrown over the
left shoulder, so that the ends fell over the back. … A
second way of arranging the himation, which left the right arm
free, was more picturesque, and is therefore usually found in
pictures."
