How did geography influence ancient Greek civilization?
It sure did! When Greek civilization first began to develop, the shape of the land allowed several different areas to develop separately and independently. As a result there were different city-states with different types of government and different emphasis on certain gods. Consider the difference between Sparta and Athens. Sparta was a militarily society and Athens gave birth to democracy. This separation also made them cling to the values that they did share such as independence of mind and rationality.
