Fustanella and greek propaganda

[TrueMacedonian]

The historic link to the fustanella involves an ancient statue found in the area around the acropolis in Athens dated from the third century BC. Nevertheless, no ancient Greek garments have survived to confirm that the origins of the fustanella are indeed in the pleated garments or chitons that were worn by men in Pericles' Athens.

Fabricating Greekness, by Michael Skafidas.

Interesting. Todays grk says otherwise Mr. Skafidas.
