Greek city states

A literature, culture and history of the Greek city states had profoundly influenced Western culture. The states lasted from the 8th century BC to the conquest by Rome in 146BC. Profile one Greek city state during the classical age (4th and 5th century), the Hellenistic period (323 BC to the Roman conquest) or another era and explore its beliefs, history and relationship to the other states. Alternately, research the causes, events and results of one particular battle in Greek history such as a Peloponnesian War. If you prefer, research the influence of Ancient Greece on the Roman civilization, Renaissance Europe, modern Western civil action or some other period after the end of the Greek civilization.
