An epic poem is a long, narrative poem that involves a very distant past. It usually tells the extraordinary acts of men, gods and supernatural forces that shaped the universe or the culture of a people. Although epic poems are not exclusive to Greece, the Greek version was developed by Homer, and passed on to later civilizations.
2. A. City state structure.
Mycenaean Greece was organized in palatial states, resembling the city-states that would become the norm in classical Greece. Each kingdom was governed from the palace, and the territory divided in sub-regions, each with a provincial center.
The Babylonian economy was largely based on agricultural surplus (due to irrigation systems) and trade. They traded both crops and goods like gold, silver, etc.
