Major Points in the last SessionGreeks colonized to get new farmlands and to trade
when they colonized, they followed a standard pattern
the colonies lined the Black Sea coast and any parts of the Mediterranean where there was no powerful resistance
for the Greeks, a “renaissance;” for the barbarians, “culture”
the tyrants appeared as economic and social changes undermined the aristocracy
their governments were illegitimate, despotic and often violent
they promoted economic development, colonization, trade, urbanization, centralization, and public works
