Ithaca, in the Ionian Sea, is Odysseus's home and central to The Odyssey.
Troy, in modern-day Turkey, was the setting for the Trojan War and The Iliad.
Knossos, on Crete, was a major Minoan city, related to the Minotaur myth, showcasing advanced Minoan civilization.
The Cyclades, islands in the Aegean, held cultural importance for trade and art in ancient Greece.

Homeric Poems

The Iliad and Odyssey established a shared cultural foundation for Greeks, promoting values like honor, bravery, and respect for the gods.
Homer is a significant Greek poet; his works (Iliad and Odyssey) shaped Greek identity, depicting heroism, gods' roles, and human nature.
The Iliad recounts the Trojan War, particularly focusing on Achilles' rage, exploring honor, pride, and divine influence.
The Odyssey describes Odysseus's ten-year return journey, emphasizing intelligence, perseverance, and the active roles of gods in human lives.

Greek City-States

A polis (city-state) was an independent state encompassing a city and surrounding lands.
The agora served as the marketplace and social center of a polis.
The acropolis, a fortified hilltop, held important temples.
Greeks established colonies in the Mediterranean and Black Seas, driven by population pressures or resource needs. Metropolises (mother cities) sent settlers to create colonies.
Strong cultural and trading relationships existed between metropolises and their colonies.

Athens and Democracy

Athens created the first direct democracy, enabling male citizens to directly vote on laws.
Athenian society included citizens (male, native), metics (foreign residents), and slaves (no rights). Women had limited rights and largely confined to domestic roles.
Key political bodies in Athens included: Ecclesia (assembly of citizens voting directly), Boule (council of 500 assisting Ecclesia), and Heliaia (court system of citizen juries).

Sparta

Sparta's government was a combined monarchy (two kings) and oligarchy (council of elders and assembly of male citizens).
It prioritized military discipline and service to the state.
Spartan society divided into three groups: Spartiates (citizens), Perioikoi (non-citizen freemen), and Helots (state-owned serfs).

Greek Religion

The Greeks were polytheistic, worshiping numerous gods and goddesses with human-like features.
Key gods include Zeus (sky), Poseidon (sea), and Athena (wisdom).
The gods shaped human destinies through divine intervention.
Heroes, though mortal, held cultural significance after death, unlike the eternal gods.
