- IceMetalPunk 4y agoDefine "better" and then we can answer it.
- Someone 4y agoNot even then. Most humans in antique Greece were slaves or serfs. The best-of of those living after antique Greece (whatever that means. I’ll take that to mean Ancient Greece (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greece https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greece) probably already were better off than those who were worst off in Ancient Greece (e.g. slaves working in silver mines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_ancient_Greece#Slavery_conditions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_ancient_Greece#Slav...) before Ancient Greece even existed and certainly by the time it ended, whatever date you pick for it (that Wikipedia page puts that somewhere around AD 600)
