Greece
Greece
geography is a lot of islands surrounding a main land with a rocky coast, The
Gods of Greece are very Famous like Zeus or Poseidon but they were more like
political figures, they instead worshipped the local gods like the animal
spirits or their ancestors, Greece it’s self is a combination of separate
governments, It was first a trading civilization, the first 2 civilizations was
The Mycenaean’s and the Minoan’s. The Mycenaeans and the Minoans were complete
opposites, the Myceaeans were warlike people, while the Minoans were peaceful
agricultural people.
Later
the Mycenaeans were deafeated by the other Greek tribes at Troy, after the
defeat a tribe called the Dorians took over the land of the Mycenaeans, Which
started the Dark Ages of Greece, The Dorians were very un-cultural, so not much
is known about them.
At
about 800BC the High Greek Culture arose and ended the Dark Ages, The Greeks
started trading and colonizing.
Afterwards
the Greek was attacked by the Persians, so they joined together and after
several decades or so years, they defeated the Persians.
As
Greece grew there was many rivalries, but the biggest rivalries were the
Spartans and the Athenians about who is the best, The Spartans were war ready
men which traineed night and day, And the Athenians the cultural people of
rome, soon they started a war called the Peloponesian-War, The victor of the
Peloponesian War was Sparta, and as such the culture of Greece plummeted.
After
the Peloponesian war Alexander the Great rose in power of the military of
Greece and started making an empire with Greeks army naming 30 cities after
himself, unfortunately Alexander died at the young age of 30, and he did’nt
have a plan for a successor so his generals had to keep it a float but failed
many years later, and split up.
Later
on Greece got took over by the Romans, but the Romans decided to keep the
culture but under strict rules.
