There are very mild winders, and dry and hot summers. The Greeks traded with other countries in the Mediterranean Sea. They also traded with many other countries around the Mediterranean Sea. =



=Athens is the most powerful city in Greece. It symbolizes art, democracy, and freedom. It gets its name from the goddess Athena, who was the goddess of wisdom and knowledge. There will always be some kind of memory in Athens. No memory ever dies. No matter where your standing, there will always be a live memory in front of you, no matter what corner you turn something will always be there. The Parthenon was created in Athens, also. Also, art became a part of life in Athens, the inseparable part, that is. =



=If you lived near the Mediterranean Sea, you would become known as a great sailor. That is one thing the Greeks were known for, sailing. They built many, many colonies, and outposts. At one point, they tried to set up a colony in Egypt, but all of the Egyptians chased the Greeks away. There was very fertile soil in Greece. Their wealth came from seafood, fresh fish, vegetables, and drinking water, this made them extremely happy with their land. =
