History Of Greek Colonies In Sicily
In the first millennium BCE, Greek city-states began to look beyond Greece for new resources, and so they founded colonies across the Mediterranean. One important consequence of this process, was the spreading of the Greek way of life far away to Spain, France, Italy, the Adriatic, the Black Sea, and North Africa.
The establishment of colonies across the Mediterranean permitted the export of luxury goods. Some colonies even managed to rival the greatest homeland cities... Syracuse, for example, eventually became the largest polis in the entire Greek world.
Greek cities were attracted by the land, natural resources, and harbours of southern Italy and Sicily. The Greek colonists subdued the local population and influenced them to such an extent that they called it 'Greater Greece' or Megalē Hellas, and it became the most 'Greek' of all the colonized territories, both in terms of culture and the urban landscape.
The location of these new colonies in the centre of the Mediterranean meant they could prosper as trade centres between the major cultures of the time: the Greek, Etruscan, and Phoenician civilizations.
