Detailed explanation-1: -1. The mountain ranges encouraged a spirit of independence among the Greeks. 2. One result of the independent spirit of the early Greeks was frequent wars between citystates.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. They grew grapes and olives, and raised sheep, goats, pigs, and chickens.
