Some were soldiers. Others were scholars, scientists or artists. Most Greeks lived in villages or in small cities.
There were beautiful temples with stone columns and statues, and open-air theatres where people sat to
watch plays.
Many Greeks were poor. Life was hard because farmland, water and timber for building were all scarce.
That's why many Greeks sailed off to find new lands to settle.

told in the Iliad, a long poem dating from the 700s BC, and said to be by a storyteller named Homer.
The Odyssey, also by Homer, is the tale of the adventures of a Greek soldier named Odysseus, after the
war.
The Trojan War began when Paris, Prince of Troy, ran away with Helen, wife of King Menelaus of
Sparta. The Greeks sent a fleet of ships, with an army, to get her back. The war lasted for 10 years. In
single combat, the greatest Greek warrior, Achilles, killed the Trojan leader Hector. In the end the
Greeks won, by a clever trick using a wooden horse.
