Hour Differences

The ancient Greeks had their hours of the day fixed differently than we do today. They divided their hours into only twelve portions, rather than twenty-four, and it was identified by the position of the sun in the sky. This method had a major flaw. The actual length of the hour changed between summer days and winter days.
