Geography The Modern Greek nation is a 50,000 square
mile mountainous peninsula with over 6,000
islands.
There are small plains and river valleys in
between the surrounding mountain ranges.
How did this impact civilization development?
Isolation led to diverse Greek communities
with a strong sense of independence, which led
to rivalry among the city-states, or polis.
Proximity to the sea, along with natural
harbors, led to the Greeks becoming seafarers,
which led to trade and the establishment of
colonies.

Minos searched for Daedalus by travelling
from city to city asking a riddle; he would
present a spiral seashell and ask for it to be
strung all the way through. When he reached
Sicily, King Cocalus, fetched Daedalus
knowing he would be able to solve the riddle.
Daedalus tied a string to an ant, which walked
through the seashell, stringing it all the way
through. Minos then knew Daedalus was in
Cocalus’ court, and demanded he be handed
over. Cocalus managed to convince Minos to
take a bath first; then Cocalus’ daughters and
Daedalus trapped Minos in the bath, and
scalded him to death with boiling water.

The Mycenaeans were a warrior people who
prided themselves on heroic deeds in battle.
Epic poems were written which passed down
legends of heroes and heroic deeds.
The most famous of these epic poems, the
Iliad and Odyssey, were written by Homer.
Through his works, Homer taught that a
Greek strives for excellence, or Arête, which
is won in a struggle or contest.
Greeks looked upon these heroes as ideal
Greeks, and model themselves after them.
Courage, honor, and pride were idealized.
