The Fall of Ancient Greece Although there were many factors to the fall of ancient Greece, in my opinion five of the most important events where as follows. First in the year 650BC Greek Tyrants come to power such as Pheidon ruler of Argos in 652BC ruled with an iron fist, he built his cities infrastructure upon slavery. He was vicious and cruel to his people and his laws where in favor of himself and his soldiers. he would buy off merchants and politicians to help him get what he wanted. He was but one of may though and they all were either just as bad or worse. My second event that led to the fall of Greece is in economics, you see when Greece was expanding and business started to bloom. As this happened the politicians and merchants lent out money and spent it hear and there not concerned about the future consequences in which it would bring. Since they did this when the time came for the loans to be collected no one had the money to pay off there dept there fore causing an economic crises. This later will cause poverty and cities to crumble but I digress,
