There were many factors and developments that helped the Greek city-states become cultured and very influential in our life today. Geographic isolation was one factor. City-states developed in isolation from each other and it prevented easy communication and trade between them. City-states may have developed at the same time and had a common language, religion, and heritage among them , but each and every one of them had a different set of customs, laws, and even form or government. These differences and factors in developing ancient Greece helped form a cultured civilization. Sea trade that caused cultural diffusion was also a big factor. With cultural diffusion, Greeks adopted many ideas and ways from other cultures such as the Egyptians and Phoenicians. Many of these ideas and ways are still encouraged or used today. The Greeks also had strong militaries that helped them fight off attackers and defend themselves from huge empires. (The Minoans and Mycenaeans developed and made up the beginning of Ancient Greece)
