On the second class of human geography, we basically went over most of the notes about Greece, here is some new facts I got:
In Greece, the culture was heavily driven by their surroundings. For instance, since they were located near multiple bodies of water, they took the opportunity to trade with nearby civilizations. This made up by their poor amount of natural resources.
Greek people only had a limited access to farming because farming in the mountains was a bit complicated. From the small selection of crops they grew: there were grapes, grains, and other things. This made the majority of the Greek diet, which is known today to be really healthy.
Greek people were also really competitive. This is why they started the Olympics, it gave anyone the chance to prove how good they are at a wide range of physical activities.
The Greeks were also really interested on literature, and they wrote epics and myths, describing ancient stories and talking about their gods.
