Why did large numbers of Greeks establish colonies in distant lands between 750 bc and 550 bc?
The Greeks were such prolific breeders that not even their constant wars could contain a burgeoning population. As each city-state had very limited productive land, they could not divide small family farms up amongst several sons, so these became landless and therefore a problem. So the cities loaded the surplus on ships and sent them off to seize land from the inhabitants and establish new city-states for themselves. This way the Greek world grew to over 2,000 independent city-states spread around the Mediterranean and Black Seas.
