Daily Life in Ancient Greece

What do you think it was like to live in ancient Greece? Greece is a mountainous land framed by deep blue water. To the west is the Ionian Sea, to the south is the Mediterranean Sea, and to the east is the Aegean Sea. About 400 islands lie off the coastline, stretching across to Asia like stepping stones. Mainland Greece is a peninsula—a body of land with water on three sides. Do you know anyone who has been to Greece?
