Today in West Civ, we started our topic on Ancient Greece. So here are the notes I took today:)

- all the world's earliest greater civilizations were river.

- great civilization/ key river
  Mesopotamian / Tigris + Euphrates river
  Egypt / Nile River
  India / Indus River
  Hung He River / China

-1400 islands off the coast of Greece
-Supported by water: fishing, food, drinking water

-Mediterranean: 'terran' means: earth
  means: middle of the Earth

-Greeks were good at building ships
-Adriatic Sea: west side of Greece
-Aegean Sea: east side of Greece


-Athens: the capital of Greece
-Island of Crete below Greece
-The places Sparta and Athens did not get along
-Athens was named after the goddess Athena
-Greece has so many myths that we can't tell what's true and what they wish were true.
