Ukuthunga I-chiton YamaGreki — Ukwenza Ingubo Yelineni

Le blueprint isebenzisa ukwakha okulula kakhulu: oxande ababili abalinganayo belineni, owangaphambili nowangemuva. Nge-chiton ye-Ionia, eboshelwa ngezipeletu ngobude bezingalo, yenza uxande ngamunye ube banzi njengobubanzi bezingalo zakho zeluliwe kusuka esihlakaleni kuya kwesinye, wengeze u-cm 20-30 wemigoqo ethambile; nge-chiton ye-Doria, eboshelwa emahlombe kuphela, uxande oluncane kakhulu lwanele, cishe kusuka endololwaneni kuya kwenye kanye nesikhala esifanayo. Yenza uxande ngamunye ube lude njengebanga elisuka ehlombe kuya emphethweni ofunayo (eqakaleni nge-chiton yowesifazane; edolweni noma eqakaleni ngeyowesilisa), wengeze cishe u-cm 20 wokudonsela phezulu ngaphezu kwebhande, futhi nge-chiton ye-Doria enogoqo olungaphezulu (apoptygma), wengeze ukujula kwalolo goqo. Sika kahle ngesikelo sendwangu esibukhali. Ama-chiton asendulo ayevame ukulukwa enyangeni yokuluka esayizini edingekayo kunokuba asikwe endwangwini enkulu, ngakho imiphetho elukiwe (selvedge) yayisebenza njengemiphetho eqediwe engadingi ukuphendwa; gcina imiphetho elukiwe phezulu nasemaceleni noma kuphi lapho ungakwazi khona.

Uma wenza i-chiton ye-Doria ene-apoptygma, qala ngokugoqela ngaphandle umphetho ophezulu woxande ngamunye ngokujula kogoqo owakubekela eceleni (ugoqo lulenga phezu kwesifuba nomhlane futhi luvame kakhulu ezingutsheni zabesifazane). Beka uxande olungaphambili phezu kolungemuva, imiphetho ihambisana. Ngobude bomphetho ophezulu, hlanganisa izingqimba zombili lapho zizohlala khona emzimbeni. Nge-chiton ye-Doria, boshela ezindaweni ezimbili zamahlombe kuphela ngama-fibula (izipeletu noma amabhulotshi; isipeletu samaGreki sasibizwa ngokuthi yi-perone), ushiye phakathi kwazo imbobo yentamo nezingalo zingambozwanga. Nge-chiton ye-Ionia, boshela, thunga noma faka izinkinobho emphethweni ophezulu ngezikhawu kusuka entanyeni kuya esihlakaleni ohlangothini ngalunye, ushiye izikhala ezincane phakathi kwezibophelo; izingalo ziphuma emaphethelweni, bese umphetho oboshiwe ulenga ube yinto ebukeka njengemikhono eshwabene. Ububanzi obengeziwe budala imigoqo ethambile ephawulekayo yokugqoka kwamaGreki.

Umphetho ophezulu usuboshiwe, thunga uhlangothi ngalunye kusuka ngaphansi nje kwembobo yengalo kuya emphethweni ongezansi, ngomthungo oya phambili noma ophindela emuva nentambo yelineni. Nge-chiton ye-Doria, shiya u-cm 20-25 ongaphezulu wohlangothi ngalunye uvulekile ukuze kungene izingalo; nge-chiton ye-Ionia izingalo ziphuma emaphethelweni omphetho ophezulu, ngakho shiya kuvulekile phezulu ohlangothini ngalunye okwanele nje ukuthi indwangu ilenge ngokukhululeka. Imithungo kufanele ibe mihle futhi iqine, ngoba ithwala isisindo sendwangu elengayo lapho umuntu ehamba. Akuzona zonke izingubo ezazithungwa zivalwe: i-peplos yamantombazane aseSparta yayishiywa ivulekile ohlangothini olulodwa, futhi amanye amaGreki ayewahleka ewabiza ngokuthi ama-phainomerides, 'ababonisa amathanga'. Nge-chiton evalwe ngokuphelele, thunga izinhlangothi zombili.

Gqoka i-chiton bese ubopha ibhande (zoster noma zone) liyizungeze. Donsela indwangu phezulu ngaphezu kwebhande ukuze wakhe ugoqo oluvuvukele, i-kolpos, oluphinde lubeke umphetho ongezansi ebudeni obufunayo. Ama-chiton abesifazane ayegqokwa afike eqakaleni. Amadoda ayegqoka i-chiton ende enkathini ye-Archaic kwathi kamuva ikakhulukazi afike edolweni, futhi izisebenzi noma amasosha ayengayiphakamisa ibe mfushane nakakhulu ukuze ahambe ngokukhululeka. Lapho ibhande likhona kanye nobuningi bendwangu evuvukele ngaphezu kwalo kushintsha kakhulu ukubukeka kwengubo: ibhande okhalweni kuthiwa 'ukubhinca phansi', kanti ibhande ngaphansi nje kwamabele kuthiwa 'ukubhinca phezulu'.

Uma umphetho ungaphendiwe (awuwona we-selvedge), wuphende ngokuphenda okuncane okusongiwe ngemithungo emincane. Izingubo zamaGreki zazivame ukuba nemingcele yokuhlobisa eyalukwa enyangeni yokuluka — amaphethini ejiyomethri, i-meander (ukhiye wamaGreki) noma imigqa enemibala emaphethelweni. Uma indwangu yakho ingenawo umngcele olukiwe, ungathunga iribhoni noma intambo elukiwe ngobude bomphetho ongezansi nentamo. I-chiton eqediwe kufanele ilenge ngemigoqo emile lapho umi. Ezinye izingubo zazigqokwa ngaphezu kwayo: i-himation, ingubo enkulu yokwembatha, kanti amadoda ayegqoka i-chlamys, ingubo emfushane yokwembatha eyayithandwa abagibeli bamahhashi namasosha.
