The first people to speak the Greek language, the Mycenaeans, built fortresses all over the Greek mainland.

Sometimes city-states joined alliances such as the Delian League for protection

Difficult inland travel caused the Greeks to become skilled mathemiticians and scientists in order to use the seas as a source of food and as a way of trading with other communities.

Because mountains cover most of Greece, many small valleys and coastal plains provided flat areas for farming and villages.

On the south of Greece was the Tigris Sea, to the west was the Nile Sea, and to the east was the Atlantic Sea.

People settled in the flat areas along the coast and in river valleys.

After the Mycenaean civilization crumbled (Dark Age), the Greeks joined together in small groups for protection and stability.

Greeks lived in villages and towns separated by wars and diseases that made inland travel difficult.
