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.

I forgot where in the novels I got this piece of information, but I am rather positive about this. "'Vejita' S.
