Detailed explanation-1: -The ancient Greeks were sailors and explorers, settling regions around the Mediterranean Sea. The Greeks began founding colonies as far back as 900 to 700 B.C.E. These colonies were founded to provide a release for Greek overpopulation, land hunger, and political unrest.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ancient Greek colonization began at an early date, during the so-called Geometric period of about 900 to 700 B.C. (74.51. 965), when many seminal elements of ancient Greek society were also established, such as city-states, major sanctuaries, and the Panhellenic festivals.
Detailed explanation-3: -State Intervention. The involvement of the state in trade and the sale of agricultural products was relatively limited; however, a notable exception was grain, imported from Egypt and the Black Sea area, to ensure that in times of drought populations did not starve.
Detailed explanation-4: -The greeks spread their cultural and political ideas through the mediterranean mostly by their own citizens moving throughout the mediterranean and establishing colonies. This also lead to increased trade with local people and thus the spread of ideas with local people.
