Q & A

What is the mythological origin of the Greek people according to their own legends?
-According to Greek mythology, the Greeks descended from Helen, the son of Deucalion and Pyrrha, who were the only survivors of a great flood. Helen’s descendants founded the major Greek tribes: Aeolians, Dorians, Achaeans, and Ionians.
What was the Minoan civilization and how did it influence later Greek culture?
-The Minoan civilization, which flourished from 3000 to 1100 BCE on the island of Crete, was known for its advanced palaces, sophisticated art, and matriarchal religion. The Minoans influenced Greek culture, particularly in areas such as art, architecture, and mythology.
What was the Mycenaean civilization and what role did it play in the development of Greek culture?
-The Mycenaean civilization, which existed from approximately 1600 to 1100 BCE, was a major influence on Greek culture. It contributed to the development of Greek writing, architecture, military infrastructure, and religious practices. The Mycenaeans used a script called Linear B, which provides early written records of Greek history.
What led to the collapse of the Mycenaean civilization?
-The collapse of the Mycenaean civilization around 1200 BCE is thought to have been caused by a combination of environmental disasters, climatic changes, and invasions by the mysterious 'Sea Peoples'. This resulted in a period of political instability and economic decline.
What was the 'Dark Ages' of Greece, and what were its key characteristics?
-The 'Dark Ages' of Greece, which followed the collapse of the Mycenaean civilization, was characterized by a decline in literacy, less complex artwork, and political fragmentation. The Greeks lived in isolated villages, and there was little long-distance trade. This period lasted until the beginning of the Archaic period.
How did the Greek polis system emerge during the Archaic period?
-During the Archaic period, isolated villages grew into larger communities that developed into city-states, or 'polis'. Each polis had its own government, laws, and protection of a specific deity, which became a defining feature of Greek political and social life.

-The Greek alphabet, which was developed around the 8th century BCE based on the Phoenician alphabet, allowed the Greeks to create written records and communicate more effectively. It played a crucial role in the advancement of Greek literature, philosophy, and governance.
How did the idea of democracy emerge in Athens?
-Democracy emerged in Athens in 593 BCE under the leadership of Solon, who introduced reforms that allowed citizens to participate in governance. Solon abolished many old laws, restructured the political system, and created the Council of 400 to guide decision-making. Athenian democracy was further developed and became more inclusive over time.
