One of humanity's most storied civilizations, Greece's history spans from the 8th century BC to the modern day. What is considered the beginning of Greek civilization as we know it began with colonization of the Mediterranean Basin around 800 BC, giving way to the era of Classical Greece in the 5th and 4th centuries BC. This period is known as the "Cradle of Western Civilization" because of its immense influence upon the world in areas such as philosophy, mathematics, and art. Greek civilization has contributed wonders such as the Temple at Athens masterworks by names such as Socrates, Aristotle, Archimedes, Plato, Hippocrates, and more.
