Welcome to the Chapter 5
Page!

This page focuses on Classical Greece (2000 _BC - 300 _BC). During this time Egyptian, Persian, and Chinese rulers had claimed their earthly power as a divine right. In the Greek city-state of Athens, a new form of government was developing- democracy. As well, the Minoans of Crete had introduced Egyptian and Southwest-Asian cultural ideas to Greek-speaking peoples. In turn, the
conqueror Alexander the Great spread Greek culture
throughout much of Asia. Greek and Asian cultures then blended to create Hellenistic culture.
