In The Odyssey, Homer mentions Greek weavers. During the long winters, Alexander, in his great Conquests, probably used Flokati for his tents and clothing. The 5th-century Vlachs, who lived in Samarina, the highest village in the Pindos mountains, were the inventors of the Flokati rug. The rugs originally serviced the shepherds, who used them as clothing, beds for tents, and to keep themselves warm during the long winter months.
