The Greeks were not isolated - they founded over 2,000 city-states around the Mediterranean and Black Seas.
isolation
Ancient Greece was significantly shaped by its geographical isolation, characterized by mountainous terrain and numerous islands, which led to the development of independent city-states (poleis) with distinct cultures and political systems. However, this isolation was complemented by robust intercultural exchange through trade and colonization, facilitating contact with neighboring civilizations like Persia, Egypt, and the Phoenicians. This interaction enriched Greek culture, notably in areas such as art, philosophy, and technology, fostering advancements that were uniquely Greek yet influenced by foreign ideas. Ultimately, the interplay of isolation and exchange contributed to the rich tapestry of ancient Greek civilization.
