Ancient Greece

Almost everyone lived within 85 miles of water. Mountains were all over the country so it was well defended from invaders. Climate was mild which allowed for outdoor activities and such. Three types of people settled

Minoans - Started in 3000 BCE. They had writing and used ships to trade. 

Mycenaeans - Heavily influenced by Minoans and dominated Greece from 1600 to 1100 BCE. 

Dorian - No real writing system, work of mouth. Homer was a famous author from this time.
