The history of Greece can be traced back to Stone Age hunters. Later came early farmers and the civilizations of the Minoan and Mycenaean kings. This was followed by a period of wars and invasions, known as the Dark Ages. In about 1100 BC, people called the Dorians invaded from the north and spread down the west coast. In the period from 500-336 BC. Greece was divided into small city states, each of which consisted of a city and its surrounding countryside.
