THe Culture of ancient Greece.
The history of Greece can be traced back to Stone Age hunters. Later came
early farmers and thecivilizations of the Minoan and Mycenaean kings. This was
followed by a period of wars and invasions, known as the Dark Ages. In about
1100 BC, a people called the Dorians invaded from the north and spread down the
west coast. In the period from 500-336 BC Greece was divided into small city
states, each of which consisted of a city and its surrounding countryside.
There were only a few historians in the time of Ancient Greece. Three major
ancient historians, were able to record their time of Ancient Greek history,
that include Herodotus, known as the 'Father of History' who
travelled to many ancient historic sites at the time, Thucydides and Xenophon.
Most other forms of History knowledge and accountability of the ancient
Greeks we know is because of temples, sculpture, pottery, artefacts and other
archaeological findings.
