Cronologia Greek

7000 a.C. – 1900 d.C. · 64 siti

Per antica Grecia qui si intendono luoghi scavati — cittadelle micenee, santuari arcaici e classici, città ellenistiche — non un singolo stato politico. Confronta i siti templari con quelli civici, poi passa a Roma dove le stesse pietre furono spesso riutilizzate.

Troy

3000 a.C. – 500 d.C.

Nine settlement layers at Hisarlık in northwestern Türkiye, where Heinrich Schliemann dug for Homer's Troy and archaeologists still debate which level matches a historical war. UNESCO listed the site in 1998; renewed interest from epic film adaptations keeps new visitors comparing poetry with stone.

Sparta

900 a.C. – 600 d.C.

Capital of ancient Lacedaemon, the militarised polis that rivals Athens in legend and Hollywood. Archaeological remains are sparser than Corinth or Mycenae, yet the acropolis, theatre, and sanctuary of Artemis Orthia ground the stories of Helen, Menelaus, and the warriors who march through Homer's Trojan War.
