   The history of Greece encompasses the history of the territory of the
    modern state of Greece, as well as that of the Greek people and the areas
    they ruled historically. The scope of Greek habitation and rule has varied
    much through the ages, and, as a result, the history of Greece is similarly
    elastic in what it includes. Each era has its own related sphere of interest.
   The first Greek-speaking tribes, known later as Mycenaeans, are generally
    thought to have arrived in the Greek mainland between the late 3rd and the
    first half of the 2nd millennium BC--probably between 1900 and 1600 BC[
    When the Mycenaeans invaded there were various non-Greek-
    speaking, indigenous pre-Greek people, practicing agriculture, as they had
    done since the 7th millennium BC.
   At its geographical peak, Greek civilization spread from Greece to Egypt
    and to the Hindu Kush mountains in Afghanistan. Since then, Greek
    minorities have remained in former Greek territories
    (e.g., Turkey, Albania, Italy, and Libya, Levant, Armenia, Georgia etc.), and
    Greek emigrants have assimilated into differing societies across the globe
    (e.g., North America, Australia, Northern Europe, South Africa, etc.)
    Nowadays most Greeks live in the modern state of Greece (independent
    since 1821) and Cyprus
   The Greek language is the official language of the Hellenic
    Republic and has a total of 15 million speakers worldwide; it is an
    Indo-European language. It is particularly remarkable in the
    depth of its continuity, beginning with the pre-historic Mycenaean
    Greek and the Linear B script, and maybe the Linear A script
    associated with Minoan civilization, though Linear A is still
    undeciphered. Greek language is clearly detected in the
    Mycenaean language and the Cypriot syllabary, and eventually
    the dialects of Ancient Greek, of which Attic Greek bears the
    most resemblance to Modern Greek. The history of the language
    spans over 3400 years of written records.
   Greek has had enormous impact on other languages both
    directly on the Romance languages, and indirectly through its
    influence on the emerging Latin language during the early days
    of Rome. Signs of this influence, and its many
    developments, can be seen throughout the family of Western
    European languages.
 Classical Greece
 The Temple of Hephaestus in Athens is the best-preserved of all ancient
  Greek temples.
 Classical Athens may be suggested to have heralded some of the same
  religious ideas that would later be promoted by Christianity, such as
  Aristotle's invocation of a perfect God, and Heraclitus' Logos. Plato
  considered there were rewards for the virtuous in the heavens and
  punishment for the wicked under the earth; the soul was valued more
  highly than the material body, and the material world was understood to
  be imperfect and not fully real (illustrated in Socrates's allegory of the
  cave).
 Hellenistic Greece
 Alexander's conquests spread classical concepts about the divine, the
  afterlife, and much else across the eastern Mediterranean area. Jews and
  early Christians alike adopted the name "hades" when writing about
  "sheol" in Greek. Greco-Buddhism was the cultural syncretism between
  Hellenistic culture and Buddhism, which developed in the Indo-Greek
  Kingdoms. By the advent of Christianity, the four original patriarchates
  beyond Rome used Greek as their church language.
