Chapter 10: Mediterranean Society The Greek Phase Due: Wednesday, September 16, 2015 Chapter Overview Although the Greeks did not build a centralized state until the short reign of Alexander of Macedon, they did serve to link the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions through colonization, commerce, and cultural interaction. Through their unprecedented abilities as sea traders, and later through the unification provided by the Hellenistic empires, the Greeks left a rich cultural legacy of politics, philosophy, art, literature, and science that would go on to shape the European and Islamic worlds for centuries. Enduring innovations for which the classical Greek cultures are best known include the following: The earliest of form of democracy, the best realization of which was found in Athens under the leadership of the statesman Pericles The establishment of hundreds of cities throughout the Mediterranean basin and southwest Asia Unique contributions to literature in the forms of mythology, poetry, drama, and essays The contributions of the rational philosophical thought of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, and later the Epicureans, the Skeptics, and the Stoics Reading Questions (Vocabulary terms should be highlighted throughout answer) 1. Explain the ways in which the conquests of Greek- city states by Phillip II of Macedon and the subsequent imperial wars of his son Alexander served to spread Greek cultural traditions into other world regions 2. Why did encounters between the Greek colonies and already established Achaemenids spur hostility and conflict in the region instead of cooperation? 3. Greeks established a far- flung network of colonies throughout the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions. How did their commercial institutions and cultural practices help Greek- speaking peoples to maintain a sense of common identity? 4. Consider political data and analyze the extent to which Greek civilization was democratic. (Use your SPICE chart to help you answer this question!) 5.
