Zeia or Zea was a key ingredient in the diet of the ancient Greeks. The Greeks did not eat bread made from wheat, they would rather give to the animals. They ate bread Zea or Barley. Only in great need ate barley mixed with wheat.

Some argue that the depictions of the goddess Dimitra do not show wheat, but Zeia. The ancient Egyptians also highly appreciated "the graces" of this grain, since according to Herodotus were manufacturing bread exclusively from Zea. The Alexander fed his army with Zea, to be men of healthy and spiritually developed.
