Greece

*Greeks invented democracy 
  • they were very warlike
  • their lives centered around strength, courage, comradeship, and loyalty (arete) 
  • tribes were held together by common beliefs and the leaders were usually war heroes 
  • their way of life was constantly changing and adapting from their encounters of others
  • no permanent government
  • barbarians- not Greek 
  • developed first idea of "western"
