History of Greece

The history of Greece refers to the time three centuries before the classical age between 800 B.C. and 500 B.C., where the country saw advances in art, poetry, technology and the era where the Polis was invented, which became the defining feature of Greek political life for hundreds of years.

Greek history can be traced back to Stone Age hunters, where later came early farmers and the Minoan and Mycenaean civilisations, followed by the Middle Ages, a period of war and invasions. The ancient Greek and Hellenistic eras are without doubt the most intriguing times, which left behind ideas, concepts and the basics of Western Civilisation, as we know it today, that have survived directly or through changes to the present day.

The dialects of ancient Greece have greatly influenced the modern Greek language and vocabularies of other spoken languages around the world. The art and architecture of ancient Greece have also been influential to the present day for the inner western society. The Renaissance in Greece was spurred on by the rediscovery of ancient Greek ideas through texts and works of art, which have been repressed by authority of the church and the ‘supernatural power’.

Greece is also famous for Homer’s work of the ancient poem The Iliad and The Odyssey. Homer is a Greek poet who told the story with the Iliad, of the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy. The poem tells the story of the battles during the weeks of feuds between King Agamemnon and Achilles, the warrior. The poem is written in Homeric Greek and a mixture of Ionic Greek and other dialects. The poem is also accompanied by The Odyssey, which makes them both amongst the oldest existing work of Western literature, and the written version is dated around the 8th Century B.C.
