Impact of Geography on Ancient Greek Development
Geography of Ancient Greece
EQ: How did geography affect the development of
Ancient Greece?
Warm Up: Write a brief description of the geography
we see at Glenn Hills High. And suggest two ways in
which geography can influenced cultures.
Homework:
Geography
Greece is a peninsula
about the size of
Louisiana in the
Mediterranean Sea.
It
’
s very close to Egypt,
the Persian empire
(includes Turkey) and
Rome.
Greek geography
Greece is mountainous
Greek communities often
times developed
independently because of
the mountains, thus they
were diverse
As a result, they fought
each other a lot.
Technology results from
necessity
Since Greek coastal cities
were sandwiched between
the ocean and the sea,
they developed an
awesome navy for trading
and fighting.
Technology results from
scarcity
All cities need fresh
water. This is a Greek
aqueduct
, basically a
brick water pipe.
The first aqueduct
was Assyrian, but
most ancient
societies had them.
Ancient Greece's mountainous terrain led to the development of diverse, independent communities that often clashed. The geographical location, sandwiched between the Mediterranean Sea and neighboring empires, influenced technological advancements such as naval prowess and aqueduct systems. Terracing was utilized for agricultural efficiency. The geography of Ancient Greece played a significant role in shaping its culture, religion, conflicts, and technological innovations.
