古代希腊是欧洲南部的一个奴隶制文明古国,其版图包括希腊半岛、爱琴海诸岛和小亚细亚半岛沿海地带。古希腊文化源起爱琴海地区,史称“爱琴文化”。其中心是克里特岛和迈锡尼城,故又称“克里特——迈锡尼文化”。古希腊文化受古代东方文化(主要是尼罗河流域和两河流域文化)影响较深,具有兼容并蓄的特点,成为古代东方文化西传欧洲的“桥梁”。 Ancient Greece is an ancient civilized slavery in southern Europe, its territory includes the Greek peninsula, the Aegean Islands and the peninsula of Asia Minor coast. Ancient Greek culture originated in the Aegean region, known as “Aegean culture.” Its center is the city of Crete and Mycenae, so it is also known as the “Cretan-Mycenaean culture.” Ancient Greek culture is deeply influenced by the ancient oriental culture (mainly the Nile Valley and the two rivers basins) and has the characteristics of being inclusive and inclusive. It has become the “bridge” of ancient Eastern cultures in Western Europe.
