Early Greeks lived in isolated mountainous regions along the coast, which led them to form independent city-states rather than a single large kingdom. The Minoans created an advanced civilization on Crete centered around their palace city of Knossos, while the warlike Mycenaeans later dominated mainland Greece from their fortified cities. These empires declined but the model of the autonomous polis or city-state took hold, with each having its own government, laws, and identity. Athenian democracy later emerged, even if initially only a small percentage of the population like adult male citizens could participate.

After a Dark Age, city-states emerged in the 8th century BC as independent political units, each with their own government and laws. Athens and Sparta became dominant city-states with different forms of government. Greek culture was also influenced by its polytheistic religion and epic poems like the Iliad and Odyssey.

Greece 2014
Classical Greece was shaped by migrations into the region starting around 2000 BCE, including the Minoans and Indo-European groups like the Dorians and Ionians. Greece's mountainous geography promoted coastal trade and cultural diffusion but lacked good farmland, leading to Greek and Phoenician colonization across the Mediterranean from 750-550 BCE. Notable city-states like Athens and Sparta developed different political systems, with Athens becoming a direct democracy in the 6th century BCE. The Persian Wars of the 5th century BCE resulted in a Greek victory that increased Athenian power and cultural influence.
