The geography of the region helped to shape the government and culture of the Ancient Greeks. Geographical formations including mountains, seas, and islands formed natural barriers between the Greek city-states and forced the Greeks to settle along the coast. In ancient times, Greece was not a united country. It was a collection of separate lands where Greek-speaking people lived. The region’s physical geography directly shaped Greek traditions and customs. The sea shaped Greek civilization just as the Nile River shaped the ancient civilization of Egypt. In one sense, the Greeks did not live on a land but AROUND a sea. Greeks rarely traveled more than 85 miles to reach the coastline. The Aegean Sea, the Ionian Sea, and the neighboring Black Sea were important transportation routes for the Greek people. These liquid highways linked most parts of Greece. As the Greeks became skilled sailors, sea travel also connected Greece with other societies. Sea travel and trade were also important because Greece itself was poor in natural resources. Greece lacked timber, precious metals, and usable farmland. Climate was the third important environmental influence on Greek civilization. Greece has a varied climate with temperatures averaging 48 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter and 80 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. In ancient times, these moderate temperatures supported an outdoor life for many Greek citizens. Men spent much of their leisure time at outdoor public events. They met often to discuss public issues, exchange news, and take an active part in civic life.

What two narrow waterways located at the west end of the anatolian peninsula, separate the black sea from the mediterranean sea?
Inessa05 [86]
The Bosphorus connects the Black Sea from the Sea of Marmara. Istanbul (Constantinople) is located on the Bosphorus. The cities location and control has led to its rise in riches and importance. The Dardanelles connects the Sea of Marmara to the Aegean and Mediterranean. The ancient city of Troy was located near this. Control of the strait had led to the city becoming extremely wealthy. This, in turn, led to its destruction by the Mycenaeans. <span />
