Abstract

Blind people appeared more frequently than people with other physical disabilities according to the ancient Greek resources which we received. And as the very little information that we have received about blindness in daily life, we must differentiate whether there was a complete case of blindness or there was merely a case of poor sight, in addition to seeing with one eye. We may note that this is a common feature among the blind, and this may be due to two reasons; The first is that they relied on the stick to navigate the roads. The second reason is that most blind people have not had the opportunity to walk unfamiliar paths, since they have lived in one area all their lives, that traveling has not been easy for them, and that one will only travel to achieve specific goals. The ancient Greek village also provided excellent features for the blind person, as it was characterized by a complex and stable landforms.
