Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ancient Greeks used to travel via the Aegean Sea from city to city. In addition to being an important trade route, the sea was full of seafood. From the mountains to the sea and islands, the geography of Ancient Greece was very unique.

Detailed explanation-2: -Equipment used in Greek agriculture was basic with digging, weeding, and multiple ploughing done by hand using wooden or iron-tipped ploughs, mattocks, and hoes (there were no spades). Richer farmers had oxen to help plough their fields.

Detailed explanation-3: -Greece’s steep mountains and surrounding seas forced Greeks to settle in isolated communities. Travel by land was hard, and sea voyages were hazardous. Most ancient Greeks farmed, but good land and water were scarce.

Detailed explanation-4: -The many hills and mountains provided shrubs to feed the herds of sheep, goats, and cattle. Because farming didn’t produce huge surpluses, and travel across the terrain was difficult, the Greeks came to depend on the sea.
