The Geography of Ancient Greece
Ancient Greece’s geography differed from the geography of other civilizations. Mountains parted the city-states causing them to become independent. Greece is also scattered across the Aegean and Ionian Sea. Greece can be considered both a peninsula and an archipelago.
Since Ancient Greece was divided, the beliefs and governments of the different city states differed too. For example, Athens and Sparta are far from each other and they observe different governments, democracy and oligarchy respectively. They also value different ways of life, Athens valuing art and wisdom, and Sparta valuing military service. In a way, you may say that geography shaped the way of Ancient Greece.
What was the name of the mountain where the Olympics first occurred?
