Hello, everybody
Today I am going to talk about Greece's History. Like I said before, Greek History is very fascinating and interesting. The first known civilization in Greece is called Minoan civilization. Their land was on the island of Crete and their capital was probably Knossos (I don't really remember). Minonas developed a trading network since they couldn't farm due to their geography (1/5 of the land was good for farming). Here are some pictures of the scu
lptures, statues and pottery of the Minoan Civilizatio

n.Later, the Minoans were overthrowned by Mycenaens. Mycenaens are well known for sea trading as well. But most impotantly, they are known for the story of the Wooden Horse. The story was passed down by a word of mouth. The poet that was credited to write all those stories in a poem was called Homer. He wrote two epics: Illiad and the Oddesey. If you want to know more information about the Wooden Horse, you can listen to the story on this website: http://storynory.com/category/educational-and-entertaining-stories/greek-myths/
Next, I'll talk about Alexander the Great. But before that, I'd like to tell that a lot of things happened befo
re Alexander the Great was born. There are so many things that I can't even talk about them, and therefore, I skip. If you want to know more, just leave me comment. Alexander the Great was a great military leader. His father was King Philip. King Philip was the kind of Macedonia. After Philip's death, Alexander comes on the throne. King Phillip's death was caused by his wife (probably, it's just a theory); she assasinated him. When Alexander came on the throne, he wanted to conquer Persia. And so, he went on to Persia with his military. He went on and on beating Persia slowly, but surely until Persian Empire was defeated. He wanted to conquer other regions, but his military gave up and returned to Greece. And so Alexander did as well. Unfortunately, he got a fever in Babylon (a city-state in Babylonia) and died. Here is a picture of him.
