ANCIENT
GREECE:
(800-200
BC)
To
define
Ancient
Greece
is
to
define
an
area
that
surrounds
the
modern-day
country
of
Greece
and
the
culture
that
it
represents.
In
ancient
times,
the
city-states
of
Greece
expanded
their
culture
and
influence
to
many
other
places.
The
political,
social,
and
cultural
structures
of
Grecian
city-states
represent
life
in
Ancient
Greece.
While
most
city-states
were
independent
of
one
another,
some
of
the
wars
that
took
place
during
the
period
we
call
Ancient
Greece
were
fought
collectively
against
an
outside
force.
Sometimes
wars
were
fought
between
the
city-states
themselves;
one
example
of
this
is
the
Peloponnesian
War.
Ancient
Greece
is
also
well
known
for
its
contributions
to
literature,
art,
science
and
mathematics.
Many
of
the
plays
and
books
written
in
Ancient
Greece
are
still
read
and
performed
today.
Grecian
architecture
was
also
quite
advanced
for
its
time,
and
many
of
our
structural
ideas
are
based
on
those
formed
in
Ancient
Greece.

Another
important
part
of
Ancient
Greece’s
history
is
the
role
of
philosophers.
Plato,
Aristotle,
and
Socrates
are
well
known
for
their
influence
on
our
culture
even
today.
The
ideas
proposed
by
these
(and
many
other)
Grecian
philosophers
have
influenced
thinkers
for
thousands
of
years.
