Ancient Greece is called ‘the birthplace of Western civilisation’ for many reasons. The Greeks gave our current form of government (democracy), the Olympic games, language, math, arts, science and the origins of western philosophy. The Romans were so impressed they copied Greek art and gods.
The ancient Greeks lived in current mainland Greece, parts of what is now Turkey and throughout the Mediterranean. They were great traders and took their food and way of life with them to many places. The Greek civilisation evolved from earlier tribes the Aeolians, Ionians, Dorians and Arcado-Cypriots. The Athenians derived from the Ionians and the Spartans form the Dorians. |
