The chignon can be traced back to ancient Greece, where Athenian women commonly wore the style with gold or ivory handcrafted hairpins. Athenian men wore the same style, but they fastened their chignons with a clasp of "golden grasshoppers", according to The History of the Peloponnesian War, by Thucydides.[1] The chignon was specific to Athens, as other city states, such as Cyprus and Sparta, had their own styles of hairdressing.[citation needed] The chignon was also popular in ancient China, where married women wore the low, knotted hairstyle.[citation needed]
