Historical Context
-
Greek life and society
Ancient Greece had a warm, dry climate, as Greece does today. Most people lived by farming, fishing and trade. Others were soldiers, scholars, scientists and artists.
Greek cities had beautiful temples with stone columns and statues, and open-air theatres where people sat to watch plays.
Most people lived in villages or in the countryside. Many Greeks were poor and life was hard, because farmland, water and timber for building were scarce. That's why many Greeks sailed off to find new lands to settle.
