Greece is a territory with customs and traditions
Introduction
Greece, a country that currently covers the territory located in the south of the European continent, is one of the many mother cultures that still exist in these times (although clearly not how it used to be before).

Developing
Greece is a territory with customs and traditions that date back to hundreds of years in time, it is a nation in which the foundations of democracy and the bases of our civilization were created. It was developed during the 1200 to.C. A 146 a.C. It begins with the so -called dark age and ends with the renowned Doric invasion and in the battle of Corinth, in which the great Roman empire defeats Greece. At this stage, Greece had a marked influence in Europe.
Aspects such as science, art, philosophy, politics, education and language;evolved thanks to the movements that developed in the Greek culture.

Greece was a commercial, maritime and expansive civilization. The geographical aspect was a component that played a fundamental role in the history of the Greek Empire, since the long coastal length benefited its expansion for overseas. A problem with the territory of Greece was that its geographical location made agricultural activity and internal communication very difficult. The first Greeks used to organize in family clans;After the time, these clans joined and formed communities that were separated from each other by the mountainous relief. This contributes to the form of very independent territories that possessed their own government and army, called polis;Although they shared geographical spaces, languages and cultures,
The periods of ancient Greece are divided into the following parts:
- Dark period (1.200 – 800 A.C.)
- Archaic or primitive period (800-496 to.C.)
- Classical Greece period (496 – 336 A.C.)
- Hellenistic period (336 – 146 A.C.)
