Chapter 3
You will notice that the units of length I used in the novel are the current standard meters and li. In the future, you will also see that the units of weight are the jin, and the land area is the mu. It's not that I don't know the measurements of ancient Greece, but first of all, the measurements of ancient Greece are more chaotic and not uniform. Secondly, if I use them, I will need to convert them, and you will not immediately have a clear idea when reading. You will also have to look at my annotations. This is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to get out of the novel. So, you can just take it as I have directly translated from the original text.
As for time, this is not a problem. The ancient Egyptians had long divided the day into 24 hours.
As for currency, it would be a joke if this were to be changed to the current currency units. However, because there were many cities in ancient Greece, the currency system was a bit messy. This novel uses the Attic currency system, which is the currency system of the people of Athens. The opol is the smallest currency unit, and above it is the drachma, stunt, minna, and talient. The approximate exchange rate is: 1 drachma = 6 opol, 1 stunt = 20 drachma, 1 minna = 5 stunt, and 1 talient = 60 minna. You should know that these currencies are actually units of weight of gold, silver, and copper. At that time, because of war, mining, and other reasons, their value fluctuated. In short, the later the years, the more they depreciated.
