Ancient Greek History Concepts

The video explores the Iron Age in Greece, starting around 1100 BCE and ending with the Classical period around 480 BCE. It is divided into the Dark Ages and the Archaic Period. The Dark Ages followed the collapse of the Mycenaean civilization, leading to a decline in literacy and a shift from bronze to iron due to resource scarcity. The Geometric Period saw the introduction of geometric designs in art. The Archaic Period was marked by the emergence of city-states, the Greek alphabet, colonization, and the spread of Greek mythology. The video concludes with the transition to Classical Greece, known for its philosophers and democracy.
