Ancient Greece

The Greeks were the glue that held the ancient world together.

Ancient Greeks developed extensive trade networks and fostered military and technological innovation. Above all, the ancient Greeks dreamed big – whether in art, politics or philosophy.

Democracy was born in the ancient Greek city states. Ancient Greek philosophy underpins both modern secularism and Christian theology.

Between 1650-525 BCE, Cyprus developed extensive trade networks, and was a melting pot for Greek, Persian and Egyptian ideas.

Alexander the Great’s (356-323 BCE) conquests redrew the political, social and cultural maps of three continents for hundreds of years.
