Detailed explanation-1: -Trade also existed between the Greeks, Near Eastern cities and Egypt. Colonies were found in Asia Minor (now Turkey), Spain and North Africa, one of the most important being Naucratis, a port city in Egypt. Athens’ port city, Piraeus, flourished and brought the city wealth as trade grew.
Detailed explanation-2: -Phoenicians were maritime traders organized in a loosely defined confederation, that is, there was not a unified country governed by a single entity. Most Phoenician cities emerged during the Late Bronze Age, probably around 1, 500 B.C.E. and experienced a great deal of cultural continuity until around 300 B.C.E.
