This presentation explores the profound influence of geography on ancient Greek civilization, particularly in how it shaped their culture and religion. The sea facilitated trade and cultural diffusion while spurring the development of naval power, as revealed in Homer’s epics, "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey." However, Greece's limited agricultural land fostered the emergence of semi-isolated city-states. Additionally, Greek mythology, rooted in natural and spiritual elements, played a critical role in their society and has significantly influenced Western culture through its integration into Roman civilization.
