Geography in Ancient Greece

Since the rugged mountainous geography of Ancient Greece covered ¾ of the land Ancient Greece was forced into separate city states. They lacked natural resources, so they used the sea to trade. Greece is surrounded by bodies of water that linked Greece together in trade routes/ transportation. They had to trade to get food and supplies to become a civilization. The weather is always good there so the people from Ancient Greece chilled outside and talked about politics. Temperature in the winter averages 40 and goes up to 80 in the summer.

Philosophers

These people who seek answers to difficult questions are called philosophers. A philosopher means lovers of wisdom. People who seek for truth no matter where the search led them. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were the first three philosophers. They questioned themselves after the war, so they wanted answers. Socrates died because he was sentenced to death. He corrupted the youth of Athens and neglected the city gods. Aristotle made the scientific method which is one of the things that we still use today. Plato wrote a book called The Republic that was a system of how to live by it.
