Many Greeks were comfortable combining their living and working spaces. Some of them had a shop in their house, overlooking the street. From there they could sell food, leather, or various manufactured items. Others, like doctors, also worked from home and received clients or patients in their offices. It did not prevent other craftsmen from producing objects and selling them from their workshops, such as weapons, shields, musical instruments, or jewelry. Some members of the social elite often perceived certain craftsmanship in a negative way. This was at least in part due to the fact that the working conditions were very exhausting. Their practitioners very often worked in the shade while sitting all day, and were left little time for leisure. According to Aristophanes, blacksmiths, potters, shoemakers, and shield-makers worked from dawn till dusk. The notion of public holidays did not exist, and workers normally rested only on religious holidays.
