The Greek world went through a series of transition over the millennia - in the post-Trojan War period, the Dorians moved south into peninsular Greece, displacing the Achaeans, then the city-kingdoms arose and subsequently became oligarchies and later many became democracies in the Classical era. These were taken over by the Hellenistic Kingdoms by the Macedonians, and eventually absorbed into the Roman Empire.

Overpopulation induced the progressive export of surplus people to form new colonies around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, establishing about 2,000 independent city-states which comprised the Greek world.

Cultural development followed a similar phasing of the political one.

These phases have been grouped into periods in which the phases of these events developed.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
