What does PEPLOS mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A long woollen robe worn by women in ancient Greece, pinned at the shoulders and falling in folds.
The peplos was made from a single rectangle of cloth folded over at the top and fastened with pins or brooches, then belted at the waist. Statues of Greek goddesses and maidens often show the garment, and at Athens a great peplos was presented to the goddess Athena. It is a favourite word of archaeologists and art historians, and an alternative form with the ending -us also exists.
