In ancient Greece, girls were named after a grandmother and boys after a grandfather.It was good manners for a boy to stand up when an older man entered the room.
It was also good manners to eat with your fingers. There were no forks, and the food was already cut up before it was served. You could use bread to scoop up your soup or you could wipe your fingers on the bread. Done with the bread? Just throw it on the floor. There were usually dogs to clean scraps off the floor.
