Exploring Greeks' Contact with Eastern Peoples and Goods

Historians tend to separate the Greek society from other worlds while exploring the contact between the Greeks and the people of the Orient and the supplies, but modern scholars now not only place Greece on a global scale, We need to think about civilization. Interaction and its impact After the collapse of the Mycenae, there is evidence that Ionians who returned to Durian were expelled from Greece and were forced to set up colonies in the surrounding area [1].

By 500 BC, the Greeks arrived in the desert. The Greek merchants spread along the east coast of the desert, and a settlement village was made along the Red Sea. People in Carthage explored the desert Atlantic coast, but the water turbulence and lack of market brought about the lack of presence south of modern Morocco. As a result, the focused countries surround the northern and eastern deserts, which remain uncontrolled by these countries. Nomadic bomber's attack on the desert was always the focus of people living at the edge of the desert.

As a young man, Herodotus may travel extensively as a businessman. He visited the Greek colony on the northern Black Sea coast. He advanced to Eastern Europe, where there were nomadic people called Scythians. He spent a lot of time exploring Egypt. He visited the eastern part of the Mediterranean, probably Babylon city of Mesopotamia (present Iraq). Herodotus is very interesting and I learned everything about the world other than Greece. Herodotus followed the conquest of Cyrus, CambiSys, Darius which made the Persian empire dominant in the "residential world". He also wrote about the culture, stories and legends of many countries that make up the Persian Empire. Herodotus made sure not to miss knowledge on these foreign lands and people.

There are three main reasons Herodotus is interested in Crois. The first reason is that as far as we know, it is the first foreigner that he contacts the Greeks whether it is conquest or alliance. The Ionian coast lives in Greeks of Ionia, so the accuracy here may not be exactly accurate. Furthermore, if you want to believe in Troy's amazing fight, this is an example of contact between a foreigner and a Greek. However, Croix is ​​an important historical figure of the Greeks and Herodotus wants to tell the Greeks about his life and his ancestors. There are several archaeological evidences that he is highly appreciated, except in the latter half of the 6th century, the Athenian burial statue named Croesos. (Grabber, 1 to 327)
