"I cannot Teach anybody anything. I can only make them think." -Socrates
Ancient Greece was a peninsula with many landforms. They have over 1,400 islands. Farming was very hard to do because of the bad soil but they still manage to grow barley, grapes, and olives. The climate during summer is hot and dry, but gets a breeze from the Mediterranean Sea. Winter is mostly moderate and rainy other than the mountainous areas which are cold and snowy. During fall and spring the weather would be very rainy and with the temperatures around 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Overall Greece stayed on the warmer side and rained most of the year.
The people in Ancient Greece were affected by their landscape very much. With all of the mountains Greece civilization were left isolated from each other. The city-states mostly all had the same language, but did not have the same government system. The only time they saw and spoke o each other really was when they were trading and in war. They became excellent traders and sailors because they had to travel to all of the different islands. Other than there surplus of fish they couldn't get or farm much of anything because of the mountains and no fertile soil so trading was a must. Most farming was done in Eastern Greece because they had a plenty of fertile soil. Ancient Greece's landscape made some peoples life easy and others hard.
