What would life have been like for the average human living in ancient Greece? What even was the average person in those times? Would they have been somewhat impoverished like what is the average person now, or would inequality not have been that bad then? Were they farmers or possibly slaves?

-men averaged around 163-165cm in height and likely weighed 50-60 kilos
-90% of people living in small cities / towns (like many in rural regions like Thessaly or Epirus) had residences / houses in side the the city-walls; for midsize cities (Phocis, Plataea, Locris) , it was over 2/3s; for large cities (Megera, Argos, Thebes) it over 50%; for the largest (Athens, Syracuse, and Corinth) it was less than 50%
-most meals consisted of different kinds of porridge and bread, and sometimes veggies. Meat was commonly only ate at festivals (which there were a lot)
-slaves made up a large population in the more larger states, but the more rural ones (Thessaly, Macedon, Crete, and Sparta) had peasants, which were typically better off legally (except for maybe helots).
-inequality worsened the more rural the State is. Larger states typically would go out and look to build overseas colonies if their city was getting too over-populated and stressed by social inequality, that way a lot of poor citizens could move there and get land, while enjoying some protection from their home-State
-most slaves worked in agriculture, but it depends on how you define 'farmer'. Do you mean farmer, as in someone who owns a farm? In that case, most farmers at-least owned a few slaves for laborers and basically acted like foremen most of the time.

Excluding modern medicine and other modern things, not that much different. Higher chance you would serve in the military. Higher chance you would go see a play as well!
