Detailed explanation-1: -Because farming didn’t produce huge surpluses, and travel across the terrain was difficult, the Greeks came to depend on the sea. People living near the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Ionian Seas became fishers, sailors, and merchants.
Detailed explanation-2: -The city-states of Ancient Greece first traded with each other. However, the soil in Greece is only good for growing a few kinds of plants, and so the Greeks had to start trading with other cultures so they could have enough food to support a growing population.
Detailed explanation-3: -In major Greek cities, people could buy wheat and slaves from Egypt. Slaves were people who were captured, bought and sold. The Greeks also bought textiles, spices and papyrus.
Detailed explanation-4: -Trading stations played an important role as the furthest outposts of Greek culture. Here, Greek goods, such as pottery (2009.529), bronzes, silver and gold vessels, olive oil, wine, and textiles, were exchanged for luxury items and exotic raw materials that were in turn worked by Greek craftsmen.
