Detailed explanation-1: -In the 7th century, many colonies were founded in Ionia, Southern Italy, Thrace and on the Black Sea. Other Greek colonies were founded on the coast of Gaul, on the Cyrenaica peninsula in Africa and also in Egypt. In this burst of colonial expansion cities such as Corinth, Miletus, Megara and Phocaea took the lead.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Greeks established colonies over a period of 300 years, from 1000 to 650 B.C.E. Colonies were located in Asia Minor (Turkey), Spain, France, Italy, Africa, and along the coast of the Black Sea.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Colonies in antiquity were post-Iron Age city-states founded from a mother-city (its “metropolis"), not from a territory-at-large. Bonds between a colony and its metropolis remained often close, and took specific forms during the period of classical antiquity.
