Running head : A HISTORY OF GREECE A History of Greece (Student 's Name (School 's Name (Professor 's Name (Course ) A History of Greece Western Civilization owes much of its development to Greek history because most of the current principles and knowledge of man was derived from this ancient culture . The foundations of mathematics , science , medicine , philosophy , politics and even the different forms of art nowadays were first established long before Christ was born in these Mediterranean islands . The Bronze Age (3000 BCE to 1100 BCE ) Bronze became a heavily used metal in Greece during 3000 B .C . It was used to make different tools and ancient battle weapons that were all part of Greek daily life . The three great civilizations that are worth studying were born on different parts of Greece . The Minoans settled on Crete at around 2600 B .C . This community got its name from Minos , a legendary son of Zeus , who ruled Crete and rid it of sea pirates (Minos , 2007 . By the year 2000 B .C , these people were able to establish a very dynamic community life marked by favorable trade activities that helped make its citizens rich . The people of Minoa became known for their palaces and socio-economic political organization . The first evidence of Greek writing called Linear A , came from this period .

Some of their differences with the Minoans , however , were shown through their use of armors in battles and better fortified territories . Mycenaeans are also noted for their beards . The people of Mycenaea chose to live in smaller units or kingdoms but were united by one dialect . The story of the Trojan War seems to be based on some facts between the Mycenaeans and the ``inhabitants of the Troad , or Troas , in Anatolia ' which is now Turkey (Trojan War , 2007 . There are indications that when Troad was afflicted by a terrible fire , the Mycenaeans wanted to conquer the city .
