How was the geograghy of ancient Greece important to the people of Greece?
Geography affected the Greeks' lifestyles in many ways. Greece was settled in a rocky, mountainous area, so it was difficult to grow crops. They could plant olive trees using step farming, so they used olive oil in much of their daily life. Because they didn't grow much food, many city-states (excluding Sparta) traded with other regions. Some also started colonies in Asia Minor where colonists grew crops and sent them back to their patron city-state.
The geography also affected the Greeks' relationships with other city-states. The rocky mountains were treacherous to travel through, and journeys were hard when carrying supplies. There were inns, but they provided no nourishment, only shelter. In addition, the rocky paths could shatter a cart wheel and leave a party stranded, open to attack from bandits. Journey by sea was equally difficult. There were no methods for navigation, so sailors traveled close to shore, where they risked their boat crashing into rocks or becoming stranded in shallow waters. In order to keep sight of land, they could only travel by day, making the journeys long and tiring. If they traveled by night, they could lose their way or become shipwrecked during one of the frequently passing storms. Because travel was so difficult, most Greeks stayed in their own city-state, and did not mingle with others. Later in history, this caused problems during wars.
Geography was a huge factor in the development of Greek culture, and it affected the Greeks in many more ways than above, but this response covered the two main influences of geography on the Greeks.

What was sparter like ancient Greece?
Depends. Becuz in Ancient Greece thre were "city-states" such as the Athens or Spartans. Each city-state had different ways of schooling. For example, in the Athens, girls didn't go to school, they were home schooled. they learned to read and write there. Boys went to school at about the age 6 or 7. Luckily, SPARTAN girls DID go to school, unlike the athenians. Hope this helps a bit ^^! XOXO Candy Maya
What are the strengths of the Phalanx?
well they are weakest when facing an enemy fielding lighter and more flexible troops
If a Phalanx was attacked from the front, it presented a virtually impenetrable hedge of spears. The close-packed mass of men also gave a Phalanx great physical momentum in an advantage or change, allowing it to physically force opponents back. Lastly, all ranks other than the front few held their spears or sarissas upright, helping block any missile fire.
Of course, these could be countered by the fact that a Phalanx was extremely vulnerable to a flanking or rear attack by a more flexible cavalry or infantry formation.

Who could be citizens of greek city states?
The citizen body comprised those males who were registered with their tribes at birth, or were admitted when necessary to rebuild the city-state after some catastrophe. For a new colony, the male colonists were registered as citizens on foundation. Others were admitted as was necessary to keep the colony going and growing, thereafter the usual registration process applied. There was also in many cities a minimum property qualification. In Athens for example the thetes (non-propertied) were excluded until liberalisation in the 5th Century BCE. In Sparta, the Spartiates (full citizens) did not admit outsiders, and from war attrition their numbers progressively diminished and their power waned accordingly.
