Minoan Civilization

Minoan Civilization Minoan Civilization was one of the earliest examples of what has come to be called Greek civilization Minoans were trading at the same time as the Phoenicians, Egyptians and Babylonians The Minoan Civilization may have been the foundation for the story of Atlantis.

Mycenaean Civilization

Mycenaean Civilization Mycenae was settled in 2000 BC A warrior-king ruled Mycenae, as well as the surrounding villages MILITARISTIC Dominated from 1600 to 1100 BC

Mycenaean Civilization In 1500 BC the Mycenaeans came in contact with Minoan civilization The Minoans had a very LARGE impact on Mycenaean civilization

Mycenaean Civilization From the Minoans the Mycenaeans adopted: Seaborne trade, Minoan system of writing, Minoan art, etc.

Minoan Bull Leaping…

Modern day Spanish Recortador continues the bull leaping tradition that goes back to the legendary King Minos from Crete ‘s Minoan civilization. A Recortador jumping over a wild cow during a show in Pamplona, Spain on July 8, 2006

Dorian Invasions After the Trojan War Mycenaean civilization eventually collapsed In 1200 BC the Dorian people moved into Mycenae

Dorian Invasions Doh! The Dorians were MUCH LESS advanced than the Mycenaeans Resulted in the temporary decline of Greek culture

Why does it matter? The contact between the Mycenaeans & the Minoans formed the core of Greek culture (i.e. religious practices, art, politics, literature…) The foundation of Western Civilization…

The City-State

Rise of the City-State Polis: Fundamental political unit of ancient Greece Made up of a city & its surrounding land; generally home to less than 10,000

Rise of the City-State Acropolis: A fortified hilltop where Greek citizens gathered to discuss societal & political issues
