Best Answer

Greek peoples, cousins of the Italian peoples, moved into eastern Europe in the early second millennium BCE and spread progressively around the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Aegean and Black Seas.

They formed city-states - cities with defensive walls, with farming country attached. They lived on the land or in the city according to their occupation. Some of these widely dispersed cities lasted in some form until the present day, where there are identifiable Greek ethnics in many countries other than modern Greece.

In ancient times, the Greeks first appear in recorded history in the 12th century B.C.E., that is, around the year 1200. Their presence in the Mediterranean before this time may be certain, but clear records do not exist. Ancient Greek civilization went through various distinct periods, including the Classical Period from approximately 500 to 300 B.C.E., before (as is generally agreed) giving way to a distinctly new civilization in the 6th century C.E.

The word 'ancient' is taken in historical terms to last until 500 CE. After this is the Mediaeval period.
