Detailed explanation-1: -The ancient Greeks seem to have used chariots mainly as transport and racing vehicles.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the most powerful cities in Greece was Athens. About 2, 400 years ago, Athens’ port of Piraeus became the most important trading center in the Mediterranean. Goods from all over the world could be found there.
Detailed explanation-3: -Access to the sea meant that Ancient Greece could grow economically. That’s because being on the sea allows for many ports to be built for trade. The Greeks also became good mariners and were able to use their skills to trade with other city-states. Ancient Greeks used to travel via the Aegean Sea from city to city.
Detailed explanation-4: -Because farming didn’t produce huge surpluses, and travel across the terrain was difficult, the Greeks came to depend on the sea. People living near the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Ionian Seas became fishers, sailors, and merchants.
