Geography: • Southern Balkan peninsula • Bordered by Mediterranean, Aegean, and Ionic Seas • Small islands, uneven coastline – close to sea everywhere (fishermen, sailors, traders) • Short mountain ranges cut up mainland – hard to unify people • Rivers were short – not good for trade or travel • So…separate city-states arose

The Mycenaean era is also the called “Age of Heroes” because it is the source of the mythological heroes and epics like Hercules, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Mycenaean culture had a great deal of influence with its legends and Greek language on what later became the splendor of Classical Greece. The Mycenaeans are the first “Greeks”

After 1100 BC Mycenaean civilization ceased either through internal fighting, or outside invasions. The extensive damage done to the Mycenaean civilization took 300 years to reverse. We call this period “the Dark Ages” because it’s a period of basic survival with no evidence of cultural development

Greek Writing Later in the Dark Ages (between 950 and 750 BCE), Greeks relearned how to write once again Instead of using the Linear B script used by the Mycenaeans, they adopted the alphabet used by the Phoenicians (learned through trade). The Greek version of the alphabet eventually formed the base of the alphabet we use today!

Acropolis In Greek, Acropolis means "Highest City". For purposes of defense, early settlers naturally chose elevated ground. The most famous example is the Acropolis of Athens which is known as the Acropolis. It contains the famous Parthenon, built as a temple to the Greek goddess Athena.

The Dark Ages are followed by the period of maturity known as “Classical Greece”. Between 480 and 323 BC, Athens and Sparta dominated the Greek world with their cultural and military achievements.

Sparta: The Military Ideal Sparta was in a valley, not on a hill It did not have walls for defense This may explain why Sparta developed as rigid and highly militarized (very different from Athens)
![Spartan government 2 kings one led army one took care of matters Spartan government: • 2 kings – one led army, one took care of matters](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h2/ab41956e31e07f775f207e1c07403969/image-28.jpg)
Spartan government: • 2 kings – one led army, one took care of matters at home • Council of Elders – 28 male citizens over age of 60 • Assembly – all males over 30; voted on laws made by Council • 5 ephors made sure kings stayed within law; complete control over education of young Spartans • First system of “checks and balances”

Life in military society: • Controlled life of citizens from birth to death • Adult males made part of “military machine” • Officials examined newborn babies; children deemed unhealthy were left to die • At age 7 – boys left home to live in military barracks; from age 18 – 20, trained specifically for war • Could marry at 20 but could not live at home til 30; not allowed to trade or do business (love of money interfered with military discipline)
![Remained available for military service until age 60 Spartan girls had • Remained available for military service until age 60 • Spartan girls had](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h2/ab41956e31e07f775f207e1c07403969/image-30.jpg)
• Remained available for military service until age 60 • Spartan girls had to be strong and healthy (as wives and mothers of soldiers); received strict physical training • Led to strong government and almost unbeatable army • Created very little in terms of art, philosophy, or science

Athens: The Birth of a Democracy Located on Attic peninsula; very unfertile; turned to sea and became traders Typical polis built around rocky hill, with strong walls
