Konstantine Panegyres/The Conversation
The Greek philosopher Plutarch of Chaeronea (1st-2nd century AD) observed that our lives are divided between relaxation and exertion.
For example, there are times when we are working and times when we are on holidays. He said rest was important:
“Rest gives relish to labor.”
In ancient Greece and Rome, many people also recognized that taking a holiday was an opportunity to restore the health of the body and mind. However, not everyone was convinced holidays were healthy or even a good idea.
