Today we went into greater depth involving Ancient Greece. We talked about many thing like the topographical feature of Greece, Their diet, and the types of resources that they had. Greece is a very mountainous country in fact 3/4 of the land is mountains and only 20% of the land in Greece is Arable. This makes it very hard for the Greeks to Grow enough food for the country. Because of the lack of Arable land the Greeks had to do a lot of trading with the limited resources that they had. Greece had a very mild climate. In the winter is got down to the 40's and in the summer it was in the 80's. The Greeks fought in many wars in fact they were almost always in some type of war where one country was trying to take control of the other. Their was no unity between cites in Greece. Each city Pledge to themselves and not to the country of Greece. Myths were a very important thing in Greece and each myth told a story. In theses myths the Greek would tells stories of their gods getting involved in wars and also falling in love with humans. That is the main reason that historians in this day and age see all those myths as fictional.
