They lived in a state of almost continual warfare - against other peoples whose lands the tried to takeover, against the Assyrians, the Persians, Thracians, Macedonians, you name it. But principally against each other.

The Greek world was comprised of a couple of thousand independent city-states, and at any time some were fighting each other, broken only by a short peace when the religious festival of the Olympic Games was on every four years.

This fighting was curtailed when Rome took them into its empire and enforced a period of peace.
