GEOGRAPHY’S ROLE IN GREEK CIVILIZATION

Greek City-States

These communities were separated by mountains. So each community developed independently from the others. Each city and its surrounding area had their own government. Famous city states include; Athens, Sparta, and Corinth.Remember, the Ancient Greeks did not have a single kingdom or empire.

Greek culture

A common written and spoken language, art, and religion partially united the Greeks.

CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE ANCIENT GREEKS

Greek contributions to math and science

Greek philosophers invented geometry, attempted to measure the Earth’s circumference.

One philosopher believed that the Earth revolved around the sun…but another thought the sun revolved around the Earth.

Influence on government

The ancient Greeks also give the modern world democracy.In the ancient Greek city-states, only native born free men (not women or slaves) could vote. In Athens all men voted to make decisions. This is called direct democracy.

The Greeks contributed to philosophy, science, art, literature, and mathematics.
