Detailed explanation-1: -Greece was a mainly mountainous landscape, with the Pindus Mountains and Mount Olympus, surrounded by water on three sides by the Ionian Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Aegean Sea. This meant that the Greek city-states of Ancient Greece were separated by mountains and water.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Greeks had cultural traits, a religion, and a language in common, though they spoke many dialects. The basic political unit was the city-state. Conflict between city-states was common, but they were capable of banding together against a common enemy, as they did during the Persian Wars (492–449 BCE).
Detailed explanation-3: -Mount Olympus – Home of the Gods (Zeus, Athena) Mediterranean Sea. Aegean Sea. Balkan Peninsula-mainland Greece, juts out into the Mediterranean Sea. Island of Crete (Minoans) Peloponnesia – where the Spartans settled.
