In the classical, Greek period, friendship consisted of close bonds between men of essentially the same race and social standing. It was unheard of for men and women to enjoy friendships or for a master and slave to interact socially. This changed a bit in Roman times, and today, many of us enjoy a lot more diversity in our friendships.
