Who are the Greeks also known as the Hellenes. The Greeks speak an Indo-European language. Is an ethnic group native to the Greeks. They have been centred around the Aegean sea. The Mycenaean people are the first Greek speaking people. The Classical period was from the fifth century BC to the death of Alexander The Great. It was named like this because it set the standers for the Greek civilization to be judged. The Hellenistic period was placed after Alexanders death. Hellenistic is the combination of none-Greek cultures with the Greek, This lead to bigger cities. The most important city-state in Greece would be Sparta. This is where the Spratens come from and the movie 300 is based on a war with persian empire and Spartabut there were more then 300 there were about 300 spartens but 700 were Thespian and 400 were Thebans.
