“You should trust my word because I lived back in those times. There was a lot of hygiene, especially in rome. The most certainly used brushes for their teeth.” Colden smiled, the kid (ok well he was more older than him) had no idea Colden also had a friend from the ancient past, well he was more of Theorous friend. And he was from rome and although h there were many sewers, public latrines, baths and other sanitation infrastructure, disease was still rampant. The baths are known to symbolise the “great hygiene of Rome”. Although the baths may have made the Romans smell good, they were a cesspool of waterborne diseases. -credit to google But he decided not say anything, and the fact that Alcibiades did not correct him when he said the minotaur was from rome instead of Greece made him question his intelligence and how much he forgot from being stuck inside ice. Also the fact he never said anything about him having the power to control ice when he froze him, a mistake on his part but he was glad he met someone who was so dumb they forgot and kept thinking of him as human.
“How does soap get rid of the dirt though? I understand you can scrape the dirt of with the strigil before finishing your bath, but the soap does nothing, no?” Colden look digusted, he was talking of the great hygiene of ancient europe (which didn’t exist until the Egyptians and the moors helped them as proven and studied also the fact native americans when they first smelt the europeans were disgusted) but here he is. Another reason not to believe him. “What?” he asked as he dropped the brush.
