Geography of GreecePeninsula
Very mountainous; not ideal for growing crops
West is Ionian Sea; east is Aegean Sea; south is Mediterranean Sea
Hundreds of offshore islands
What implications do you think this would have on the daily life of ancient Greeks?
Geography of Greece
Grew wheat, barley, olives, and grapes
Raised sheep and goats
Many Greeks were fishers, sailors, and traders
Early Greek History
First civilization in Greece was the Minoan civilization
On the island of Crete
Artifacts show they were very rich; traveled by ship to trade
Historians disagree on the cause of the Minoan collapse
Early Greek History
First Greek kings were Mycenaean leaders
Learned about Minoan culture through trading; after Minoan collapse, became the most powerful on the Mediterranean
Dark Age: less trade; poverty among people; no written records
Dorians invaded Greece; brought farming technology and new weapons
Greece began to colonize
The Polis
Nobles who owned land overthrew Greek kings
The polis, or city-state, was like an independent country. WHY?
Acropolis: main gathering place in polis on a hill; sometimes served as the religious center
Agora: open area where people could meet and debate issues; also a marketplace
City-states varied in size and population
