Build cities
The three cities are Istanbul, Turkey Marseille, France Naples, Italy
there were greek colonies...
The colonies, established around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, were independent city-states and each had to make it own living, They traded with their mother cities, and locally.
The began exporting surplus populations from about 900 CE onwards. Eventually there were about 2000 cities established around the Mediterrana and Black Seas, from today's Spain in the west to Asia Minor in the east.For example Naples (in Greek nea polis = New City) in Italy was a Greek city, as was Tripoli in Libya (tri polis= three cities), Miletus in Asia Minor.
The Greek gods were worshiped in all ancient Greek cities.
The Greek city-states of mainland Greece sent out their surplus populations to fend for themselves by establishing new cities around the Mediterranean and Black Seas - a couple of thousand cities, ranging from such city-states as Massilia (today's Marseilles in France), Syracuse in Sicily, Neapolis (New City, today's Naples in Italy), to Tripolis (Three Cities, today's Tripoli in Libya), to Miletus in Asia Minor and Tanais in southern Russia.
The Greek people led the greek city-states to set up colonies
In northeast Africa, the most notable Greek colonies were established in cities such as Alexandria and Cyrene. Alexandria, founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BCE, became a major center of commerce and culture. Cyrene, located in present-day Libya, was another significant Greek settlement known for its rich agricultural land and intellectual contributions. Both cities played crucial roles in the spread of Hellenistic culture throughout the region.
The Greek city-states out their surplus populations to form new cities, displacing indigenous occupants. These new cities themselves became overpopulated and sent out colonies of their own. This way the Mediterranean Sea coast was taken over by hundreds of Greek city-states.

The Greek city-colonies in Asia Minor, established primarily during the 8th to 6th centuries BCE, include notable cities such as Miletus, Ephesus, Smyrna, and Pergamon. These colonies were founded by various Greek city-states, particularly from Ionia, and played a crucial role in the spread of Hellenic culture and trade across the region. They became centers of commerce, philosophy, and art, significantly influencing the development of Western civilization. Over time, these cities faced various challenges, including Persian and later Roman domination.
