Geography Shapes Greek Life
• Three seas: Ionian, Aegean, and Mediterranean – Linked parts of Greece
together– Connected Greece to other
societies– Sea travel and trade were
important due to Greece’s lack of natural resources
![Page 3: The Shaping of Classical Greece 2000 B.C. – 300 B. C](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814f6a550346895dbd214e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Land of Rugged Mountains• Mountains covered ¾ of Ancient
Greece- only ¼ of the land was arable (suitable for agriculture)
• Effect on politics– Small, local community
governments- NEVER united into one empire
• Effect on population– Not enough farm land to support a
large population
![Page 5: The Shaping of Classical Greece 2000 B.C. – 300 B. C](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814f6a550346895dbd214e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Climate
• Greece’s climate is mild with varied, moderate temperatures
• This supported outdoor, public meetings which will shape the Greek political system
![Page 6: The Shaping of Classical Greece 2000 B.C. – 300 B. C](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814f6a550346895dbd214e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Civilization Develops
• Mycenaeans– Indo-Europeans who settled in the
southern mountains of the peninsula
– Dominated by strong warrior kings from 1600 BC to 1100 BC
• Minoans- (Remember the island in the Med Sea!)– Mycenaeans had contact with them
after 1500 BC- probably through trade
– Mycenaeans adapted the Minoan language into Greek, and Minoan culture influenced art, religion, politics, and literature.

The Trojan War
• When?– 1200’s B.C lasted 10 years
• Once was thought to be a fictitious legend (archeologist discoveries of cities that may have influenced the stories)
• One of the last Mycenaean battles.
![Page 8: The Shaping of Classical Greece 2000 B.C. – 300 B. C](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814f6a550346895dbd214e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Dorians
• Represented a decline in Greek culture following the Trojan War– Less advanced– Economy and trade collapsed– Lack of history from 1150 BC – 750 BC
indicated no form of writing– Homer
• Blind story teller• Narrative, heroic poems- Illiad and
Odyssey– Myths
• Traditional stories about gods and goddesses used to explain nature and natural eventsVideo

Rule and Order in the City-StatesRemember, a city-state is a city and it’s
surrounding lands controlled by a strong government----- the Greeks did not unite into an empire- but a league of loosely united city-states
• Polis- fundamental political unit in ancient Greece– 50-500 square miles– Less than 10,000 residents– Citizens gathered at the agora
(marketplace) on the acropolis (fortified hill-top) to discuss city government
![Page 12: The Shaping of Classical Greece 2000 B.C. – 300 B. C](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814f6a550346895dbd214e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Let’s Review:
1. Why did the population in most city-states stay relatively small?
The lack of arable land
2. What made it possible to have open markets and an acropolis?
Climate and mountainous terrain
![Page 13: The Shaping of Classical Greece 2000 B.C. – 300 B. C](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814f6a550346895dbd214e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Forms of Government
• Monarchy- a single person, KING, ruled the government
• Aristocracy- ruled by a small group of noble, land-owning families.
• Oligarchy- ruled by a few powerful people a new class of wealthy merchants dissatisfied with nobles took over power
• Tyrants-powerful leaders who gained support of common people after agreeing to set up building programs and provide jobs for their supporters.

The Struggle for Power
• Patricians- wealthy land owners– Had and wanted to retain most of the
power– Inherited power based on social status– Held the highest government positions
• Plebeians- commoners– Farmers, artisans, and merchants– Made the majority of the population– Citizens with the right to vote– Barred from holding the highest
positions in government
![Page 56: The Shaping of Classical Greece 2000 B.C. – 300 B. C](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814f6a550346895dbd214e/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
What the Romans Valued
• Their Government– republic
• Their Military– All land owners required to
serve– 10 years service required for
some political offices– Key factors in Rome’s rise
• Fighting skills• Military organization

The Roman Empire
Chapter 6Section 2
![Page 66: The Shaping of Classical Greece 2000 B.C. – 300 B. C](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814f6a550346895dbd214e/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
The Collapse of the Republic• As the Romans expanded,
their republic form of government gradually became unstable
• Things that brought problems to the republic:1. Economic turmoil:2. Military Upheaval:
![Page 67: The Shaping of Classical Greece 2000 B.C. – 300 B. C](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814f6a550346895dbd214e/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)

poor) or migrant laborers• Generals seized more personal power,• New group of soldiers (urban poor or
migrants) rejoined the army• New soldiers owed allegiance to their
generals who promise them wealth• The Republic is now in a position to be
taken over by one of them
![Page 68: The Shaping of Classical Greece 2000 B.C. – 300 B. C](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814f6a550346895dbd214e/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Military Upheaval (Review)• The military was once very
loyal to Rome. (Because they were “Romans”)
• They began to recruit non-Romans who fought for their commander who promised them things, rather that fighting for ROME
• This gave the military more power, and the military leaders gained power too
![Page 69: The Shaping of Classical Greece 2000 B.C. – 300 B. C](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814f6a550346895dbd214e/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
