Greek girls wearing the traditional Tsakonian costume/The traditional costume from Tsakonia, Peloponnese.
The jumpsuit is the traditional women's costume of the wider area of Tsakonia. In the past, the nobility of Prastos, the first Tsakonian capital, used to wear the costume as a sign of financial comfort and superior origin. This costume, which was used as a wedding dress, was characterized by Doric simplicity. Free from gold embroidered ornaments and coins, it combined the colors of red, yellow and green. @GreekLeague

You can’t use a blanket statement when talking about Slavs. Even officially Slavs are broken up in 3 groups West, East, and South Slavs. There are 13 Slavic countries. I don’t believe there is a reliable study done on early Slavic tribes. I don’t trust the official sources. When it comes to Slavic native spirituality, traditions, customs, practices, celebrations, worldview, and way of life, I think it’s pretty much the same for all Slavic groups. I’m not sure if the DNA, genetic studies will be the same for all Slavic groups. If you go visit the West, East, and South Slavs, the majority of people living there will be distinctly different in appearance. Some look very fair with light eyes and hair, others have darker complexion with brown hair and brown eyes. Although over the centuries there was some mixing going on between all of the Slavic groups..

In early bronze age Europe, the youths of the koryos warbands embodied their ancestors in a pagan cult of the dead. So how did the ancient Indo-Europeans perceive the nature of death and their relationship with their ancestors?
