Document Summary

What is greek, the greeks and greek civilization. Greece is where the greeks are and where greek culture is predominant. Not only did the greeks regard everyone else as barbarians they saw them as slaves to them and inferior. They saw it as a natural law that greeks would be master and everyone would be the slaves, every barbarian was rotationally slaves to the greeks. Mycenaean"s civilization called this because they were at a place called mycena. Greeks was not united after the clasped until alexander the great united a bit and that"s when political greece started to emerge. When romans look at greece they tended to look at it through athens. Athens even in the classical world positioned itself and considered itself the cultural and artistic centre. The idealized picture that we get of the greeks is of both greek and roman classical. The greeks saw themselves as isolated in a world of barbarism and savages.
