Ancient Greece

Over 2000 years ago Greece was a very large peninsula made up of more than 200 states, the Greek civilization was located in the mediterranean sea. Many of the islands had a very beautiful coastline that made trade easier for greeks and greek people were also good  sailors and fishermen because they sailed a lot. In ancient Greece, they had a polytechnic religion that means more than one god, the most powerful god was Zeus. Many people in Greece taught that God could interact with them if they prayed nicely, in Greece now there are many temples that tell us now that they prayed a lot. Mount Olympus was the highest mount in Greece where the 12 gods lived over there, those gods were also called Olympians. In ancient Greece, people told many myths that are even listened to today. Many of the gods in ancient Greece looked like normal human beings like just us.

Ancient Greece was not a country or an empire, it was formed with over 200 states that had their own way of ruling like one state had, another had council and democracy was first invented in the ancient Greece state. The Olympics were first done in ancient Greece and they did that with their enemies. In ancient Greece, people liked to show their stuff to each other and they all spoke the same language. The Greeks were one of our best friends because they gave us something we even use in today's world.

Greeks people had a very rich culture in which they evolved and many other beliefs that today archeologists have recorded. The culture of ancient Greece was copied by many other civilizations around the ancient world. Today I'm writing ABC and this essay only because of the Greeks because they invented the alphabet that we write today. They gave us many things that we use in our daily life.
