| | Ancient Greece |
 | | The Greeks are believed to have migrated southward into the Greek peninsula in several waves beginning in the late 3rd millennium BC, the last being the Dorian invasion. | | | Those Greek historians and political writers whose works have survived, notably Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, Demosthenes, Plato and Aristotle, were mostly either Athenian or pro-Athenian, and all were political conservatives. | | | In 499 BC the Greeks rose in the Ionian Revolt, and Athens and some other Greek cities went to their aid. |

| | Colonies were also founded in the Hellespont and along the coast of the Black Sea. | | | The older Greek cities also founded colonies at the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea and along the coasts of the Black Sea. | | | As a consequence of this activity, the Greek world expanded significantly; moreover, the network of political, religious, and personal loyalties and identities between the various Greek cities was strengthened |

| | For example, historians trying to isolate the early development of Greek ideas about political equality sometimes question the claims made by colonial cities that the original distribution of lots in their city had been carried out on the basis of equality. | | | Some scholars believe in essence that such claims are ideologically motivated, and are attempts to project the ideology of the present into the past and thereby make it more attractive by imbuing it with the authority of antiquity. | | | Home > Ancient History > Historical periods > Greece > The Development of the Greek World, 800-500 BC The Development of the Greek World, 800-500 BC |

| | One story repeated by the Greek historian Herodotus is that the Phoenicians sailed entirely around Africa on commission from King Neko II of Egypt. | | | For one thing, those Greeks cities were wealthy, like Egypt and Babylon (and unlike Sparta), but they could not have been wealthy in the same way that Egypt and Babylon were wealthy. | | | Years ago, the simple answer might have been that the Greeks were "different," they just had some kind of special "genius" that enabled them to think about things in new and different ways. |

| | The purists disregarded the widespread use of the written and spoken vernacular, espousing an elegant, scholarly, artificial language based on Ancient Greek and remote from the speech of everyday life. | | | The question of a national language did not arise, however, until the 19th century with the emergence of the newly independent Greek state. | | | In Greece proper, which remained under Ottoman Turkish rule, the energies of the people were absorbed by revolutionary activities aimed at national independence. |

| | To a somewhat lesser extent the same is true for the cults and the political institutions of the colonies, which were in most parts (at least initially) the same, since they were brought by colonists from the same mother city. | | | Obviously special attention was paid to the northern Black Sea Coast (today Ukrainia) and the Crimea, including the easternmost colony the Greeks founded in this part of the world, Tanais (now near Rostov on the Don, at the Sea of Azov, the ancient Maiotis). | | | 13, is to present for the first time a comprehensive description -- by the archaeologists themselves working at the sites -- of the archaeological finds of almost thirty Greek colonies on the coasts of the Black Sea. |
