The life expectancy of Ancient Greece was 30-35, right?
It's not uncommon to find people living until their 80's-90's today. My
grandparents all made it to their 80's, I think my grandmother was 84 when
she passed away.
If I told someone in Ancient Greece that my grandmother lived until she was
84, they'd think I was crazy.
Considering the medical and technological advances in LoGH, I think it
wouldn't be uncommon to find eldery folks in the 120-130 range.

According to the LoGH novels, the life expectancy should be 100. I forgot
where in the novels I got this piece of information, but I am rather
positive
about this.
