Magna Grecia : Greek Civilization in Italy

The Greek Civilization was one of the civilizations that established colonies in several
regions of Italy in the 8th Century AD. They built quite a lot of cities, or poleis, in Southern Italy,
including Taranto and Napoli. These regions, later, were known as Magna Grecia or the Great
Greece colony. The other colony they established was the one in the island of Sicilia, specifically
in Siracusa. These were the two most important colonies during the Greek Civilization in Italy.
Unlike the other civilizations, the Greeks only built their colonies along the shoreline of
Italy because they were skilful in terms of navigation across the sea. Therefore, the native people
of Italy were not a threat since they only had knowledge of farming.
The Greek Civilization reached its glory in both Italy and Sicilia, building temples and
theaters. It also influenced the Italians with philosophy and theatrical performances. The
