Compared to the earliest civilizations, the Greeks appeared in the pages of world history is not so long ago.Mediterranean state is emerging around the eighth century BC and the first stage of his existence becomes archaic period, which lasted only a few centuries.However, even in such a short amount of time people prozhivavschie in Southern Europe, we have been able to invent a lot of things, without which even now it would be impossible to imagine our being.Is actually on the border of West and South of the Ancient Worlds, Hellas (so called his country to this day the Greeks) has become a stronghold of culture and science.It myths of the ancient Greeks, their philosophies and religion formed the basis for the world's religions, literature and paintings, which were written in the future.
Hellas - a country that has always differed from all other states and national communities.Its main feature is the language that is used by the ancient Greeks even in those days almost in a form in which it is common nowadays.Like grammar, and all the letters of the alphabet in this scripture like no oriental manuscripts, nor European.However, at the same time it is the Greek language was the basis of many others.The reasons for this were many, and one of them - the Great Greek colonization, which allowed it to most people to settle on the Mediterranean coast, as well as the master of water adjacent seas.Ancient monuments of the ancient world of the Greeks can be found on the southern shores of Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean and Africa, and even on the shores of the Black Sea.
life of such people as the ancient Greeks, displays the history of the eternal political change.It can be traced and periods of terrible tyranny and despotism, and the time when the authorities were residents themselves.In this country, it was the first time decided to convene public meetings, which were held in the Agora.True if the ancient Greeks called politics is something that allows you to feel secure and at the same time freely.Therefore, this aspect of the life of the state, and was closely associated with the philosophy and mythology.Due to its natural resources, multiplied by the great creativity, Greece has become a world center of commerce.It also contributed to a very favorable location of the country, through which lay the path from West to East.So for centuries Hellas absorbed the traditions of the various peoples of the ancient world, thus adding to their own cultural potential.
With the advent of a new era of the ancient Greeks were one of the most developed ethnic groups on the planet.In Hellas flourished art and science, and along with it all the time there were wars, which allows you to expand the territory to add to her new provinces and colonies.This period is also known for outstanding personalities, among which mention should be made of Alexander the Great, his father, Philip II, the brilliant mathematician Archimedes and the philosopher Aristotle.Of course, to fit in a few lines the whole history of the Achaean people is impossible, since it lies in the artifacts and monuments that have survived from the ancient world.
