Ancient Greek Civilization
Ancient Greek Civilization
The time period after, Mycenaean civilization
that was over around 1200 BCE, to the demise of Alexander the Great, in 323 BCE
gave rise to The Ancient Greek civilization. It in fact was an era of
philosophical, political, scientific and artistic accomplishments that shaped a
history with unprecedented impact on Western civilization.
During the course of the mysteriously named
“Greek Dark Ages” prior to the archaic era, many people were living isolated
all the way through Greece
in limited harvesting villages. As they started to grow bigger, these types of
villages started to blossom. A lot of them built walls. While, a good number of
people established a hybrid market (an agora) as well as a community gathering
spot. They established governing bodies and arranged their people in line with
some form of fundamental law or even collection of laws and regulations. They
brought up legions and obtained taxes. Each and every one of these regions
(known as poleis) was considered to be safeguarded from their unique god or
goddess, for whom the people of the polis paid a substantial amount of regard,
reverence and sacrifice.
Greek militaristic leadership prepared the
greatly equipped hoplite warriors to combat within a solid formation termed as
a phalanx: standing up arm to arm, some men were shielded by their neighbor’s
protective covering. This particular overwhelming strategy played a crucial
role during Persian Wars and made it easier for the Greeks to develop their
empire.
