9 PAINTRESSES OF ANCIENT GREECE

Greeks but much more foreigners when thinking of ancient Greek culture, associate it almost exclusively with male historical figures. Indeed, the position of the majority of women in ancient Greece was at home. However, there were some women who, breaking the status quo of the time, dealt with creative areas of the human spirit, thus gaining an important place in the history of human civilization.

PREHISTORIC SETTLEMENTS AND BUILDINGS IN GREECE AND IN CYPRUS

 

Positions of Prehistoric Settlements in Greece.

The first residential buildings in Greece 
are estimated to have been built 
during the Paleolithic period, around 
20000 BC. These were huts. During 
the Neolithic period (7000-3500 BC) 
the inhabitants of the Greek area
 began to settle in permanent
 settlements engaged in agriculture. 
Then the "property of the land" begins 
to exist.
