Greece was not a country. The Greek world comprised more than a thousand independent city-states scattered around the Mediterranean and Black Seas - examples are Emporium (in today's Spain), Massilia (Marseilles in today's France), Syracuse in Sicily, Naples (in Italy), Alexandria (in Egypt), Miletus (in Asia Minor), Tanais (in today's Russia).
