One Greek word for a private person was "idiot," which, then as now, carried implications of ignorance -or at least a large indifference to civic concern. The tribe knew no privacy, and even the lord of the feudal manor lived in a swarm of servants, children and relatives, often all of them sleeping around the edges of the big hall where the fireplace was.
