The expansion of ancient Greek civilization through Europe to Africa and the Near East began long before the full blossom of classical Greek culture.
The book "The Greeks in Their Overseas Expansion" highlights the importance of archaeology in reconstructing one of the most significant defining periods of European history.
After the Dark Ages, with the reduced population and relative poverty, the Greeks set sail for the North, South, East, and West to establish trading posts and colonies, to benefit from the materials and experiences that the barbarians could offer, and to spread the goods of their rapidly developing brilliant culture.
