greece:
sea- allowed for great opportunity for trade and travel
Land- rugged mountains divided the regions and made it hard for large armies to move through the area
climate- upper 40's in winter and lower 80's in summer
the big 3 players in classical greece- minoans created an elegant civilization that had great power that started around 3000 bc. used ships to trade goods
Mycenaean develops- heavily influenced by the minoans. they came from indo-europeans migrants. dominated greece from 1600 to 1100 bc
dorian- spoke a kind of greek. not as advanced as the others, no writing system. focused more on storytelling
