Thus Virgil says:—

In perfect view their hair with fillets tied.

Her beauteous breast she beat and rent her flowing hair.

Strabo says, that in Athens it consisted of a wreath of myrtle leaves and

roses around the head, forming a corobulus.

The hair over the forehead of Apollo Belvidere is an example of a

corobulus. And the hair was twined or spun around a spindle, in the shape

of a cone, and one or more of these projected from the crown of the head,

with a golden grasshopper for ornament, as seen in Fig. 10.

Four hundred and eighty years B.C., hats were not worn as a rule, and

dress was in simple style. It was considered improper for women to

be seen on the street, and their appearance there occurred only on

exceptional occasions.
