What area did the Greeks make advancement in during this time?

Answer 1

They made advancements in trade (In the Mediterranean and Black Seas) and that resulted in an economic and cultural change in the area known today as "Greece". For example : Tribal kingdoms slowly transformed in City states, or, this was the time that coins were first made (600 BCE). So, in conclusion, Greece changed from tribal kingdoms where people mostly were involved with agriculture and in some

occasions hunting, to organized city states that were based economically on trading their agricultural goods throughout the Mediterranean and Black Seas, leading to the first form of democracy in Athens, circa 6th century BCE. I hope this answers your question.
