It flourished between 1600 and 1100 B.C.  The Mycenae Greeks were part of the Indo-European family of peoples who spread  into the southern and western  Europe, India, and Iran. The Greek state was made up of powerful Monarchies. Some historians believe that the Mycenaeans also spread outward militarily, conquering Crete and making it part of Mycenaean world. The early Greeks helped develop western civilization because of their government, it shaped the later government that would soon form. Another reason why is because of a man named Homer. He was the first greek to write epic poems, long poems that tells deeds of a great hero. That would impact later civilization as well.]]> 2016-09-08 12:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/104924/3vwydvbrs4cn/wish/122396082 104924 https://padlet.com/104924/3vwydvbrs4cn/wish/122397170 Classical Greece is a period in time from around 500 B.C. to 338 B.C.
