Ancient Greece
The Greeks started in the 8th century and they were formed into a tribe called Mycenaean, they had a small alphabet and even some map-making skills. They show great poise and they are able to beat the Trojans and claim Helen in what is the one of the only times Greece is united durning the great Trpjan war which is reccorded in the Iliad and Oddyssey. In the next century the city-states have started and already their have been some political strife and the class basis has been invented in this hard political life. In the next hundred years the Greeks have made surrounding colonies that made great economic successfulness. On their high they beat the Persians twice and show their magnificent power to all. Not only with military but the great thinkers Plato and Socrates made the world of philosiphy alot more interesting. Next in this soap- opera tragedy comes with the brutal Spartans corrupting Athens and coming in afterwords to take it over and leaving it in chaos. Athens is able to regrow but it is too little too late, Greek is wrouined finally being taken over by Alexander the Great.
