Greeks seem to have been aware of cotton after Alexander conquered Indian lands. So I guess cotton was available to Greek troops of the Asiatic Hellenistic kingdoms. If cotton found its way through the "silk road" to the Mediterranean it must have been terribly expensive.
So I ask again if there is any evidence to suggest that cotton was availble to Greece or Egypt before 400 B.C. ?
Kind regards
