Grecce is Cool

So today in Western Civ. we talked about how the Greeks had a unique trading system for their time which allowed them to establish bonds with other countries and grow their empire. We also learned about how they needed trade due to the fact that they needed more natural resources and food because they could only grow food in 20% of the fertile soil they had. We also learned about how the Greeks mixed in their history and mythology one most famously known would be the Trojan War. It really happened but everything about the Greek gods did not. Finally we touched base upon how the Greeks were invaded by mysterious people that they named the sea people and how other rulers took over the war torn land and ruled for 400 years which the Greeks called the Dark Ages.
