According to popular belief, the war between Greece and Troy began with a very attractive woman being stolen, and one side trying to rescue it.
The Trojan war ended when Greece sent a big horse as a gift to Troy when reality a bunch of men were inside that began to slaughter everyone in Troy.
As the Greeks were exhausted after the Trojan war, a new group decided to invade Greece, they were called the Dorians
The Dorians did not care about history and scripture, so they burned everything that was written, and because of this, there was no record of anything for 500 years. The period was called the Dark Ages
After the Dark Ages, Greek City-States started to pop up all around, having their own government and land.
Greek city states had their own laws, religion, culture, and language.
The states had an Acropolis, being the center of the city where the temple is used to worship the gods
Inside the acropolis, there are also other buildings such as theaters, gymnasiums, and public bathhouses
The Archaic Period is the time of a united and peaceful Greece.
