Greek Colonization of the World...

It appears that the Greeks attempted to colonize the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea... If they had a central government they could ahve been Roman before Roman.

Greek colonisation - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Greek colonisation refers to the expansion of Archaic Greeks, particularly during the 8th–6th centuries BC, across the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. The Archaic expansion differed from the Iron Age migrations of the Greek Dark Ages, in that it consisted of organised direction (see oikistes) away from the originating metropolis rather than the simplistic movement of tribes, which characterised the aforementioned earlier migrations. Many colonies, or apoikiai (Greek: ἀποικία, transl. "home away from home"), that were founded during this period eventually evolved into strong Greek city-states, functioning independently of their metropolis.

Greek Colonization

From around 800 BCE, ancient Greek city-states, most of which were maritime powers, began to look beyond Greece for land and resources. As a consequence, they founded colonies across the Mediterranean...

New Orleans had the first Greek settlement...

Greek Immigrants in New Orleans

A major wave of Greek immigrants to the United States happened in the 1850s where they settled in New Orleans - the first major Greek community in the US.

The United States of America is known for being a place where people can find a new life. This is the main reason why Greeks as early as the 1700’s decided to settle here in the United States. There are many things that could cause someone to leave their homeland, such as political instability, occupation, war, and economic hardship. For Greeks, things were no different.

The Greeks made it to Spain...

Empúries - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Empúries (Catalan: Empúries [əmˈpuɾiəs]) was an ancient Greek city on the Mediterranean coast of Catalonia, Spain. The city Ἐμπόριον (Greek: Ἐμπόριον, Emporion, meaning "trading place", cf. emporion) was founded in 575 BC by Greeks from Phocaea. After the invasion of Gaul from Iberia by Hannibal the Carthaginian general in 218 BC, the city was occupied by the Romans (Latin: Emporiae). In the Early Middle Ages, the city's exposed coastal position left it open to marauders and it was abandoned.

Massalia - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Massalia (Greek: Μασσαλία, romanized: Massalía; Latin: Massilia) was an ancient Greek colony (apoikia) on the Mediterranean coast, east of the Rhône. Settled by the Ionians from Phocaea in 600 BC, this apoikia grew up rapidly, and its population set up many outposts for trading in modern-day Spain, Corsica and Liguria. Massalia persisted as an independent colony until the Roman campaign in Gaul in the 1st Century BC. The ruins of Massalia still exist in the contemporary city of Marseille, which is considered the oldest city of France and one of Europe's oldest continuously inhabited settlements.[1]

Tanais - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Tanais (Greek: Τάναϊς Tánaïs; Russian: Танаис) was an ancient Greek city in the Don river delta, called the Maeotian marshes in classical antiquity. It was a bishopric as Tana and remains a Latin Catholic titular see as Tanais. The delta reaches into the northeasternmost part of the Sea of Azov, which the Ancient Greeks called Lake Maeotis. The site of ancient Tanais is about 30 km west of modern Rostov-on-Don. The central city site lies on a plateau with a difference up to 20 m in elevation in the south. It is bordered by a natural valley to the east, and an artificial ditch to the west.

There is a story that the Ben Hur family moved to Ben Hur Virginia just off I-81.

Ben Hur

I think the Ben Hur Virginia fan is fiction turned into reality...

Bem Hur was a fictional character created by General Lew Wallace of Shilo fame. He wrote the book Ben-Hur: A Tale of Christ.


Auburn Pridemore founded Ben Hur, Virginia, and named the community after the novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ by Lew Wallace. The Ben Hur post office was established in 1921.

 

[LJMYERS]

Actress Carmel Myers stared in the movie Ben Hur. That is my interested in Ben Hur Virginia. The Mormons believe Jesus Christ visited Mexico City from time to time. Maybe Ben Hur visited Ben Hur Virginia. The Mormons are in big time news these days. Sure CSA Col John Esten Cooke wrote about a fictional person named Hunter John Myers and Union General Lew Wallace wrote a book about a fictional person named Ben Hur. Maybe the Cooke family knew the Wallace family.

Beginning as early as 600 B.C., the ancient Greeks created the Diolkos, an ambitious road partially paved with stone, that spanned across the entire Isthmus of Corinth. The overland route allowed sailors to avoid the perilous circumnavigation of the Peloponnese peninsula. One section of the road featured purposefully grooved tracks—considered among the earliest known railways in recorded history.

The Diolkos was "the first systematic attempt to facilitate the portage of merchandise and warships from the Saronic to the Corinthian Gulf and vice versa," says Dr. Georgios Spyropoulos, assistant director of the Corinthian Ephorate of Antiquities.

At the time of his death, Alexander the Great had created a vast empire across the eastern world. He established 33 Greek settlements and he was brilliant at fusing local culture with that of the Hellenes. However, only Alexander the Great would have been capable of maintaining such an empire and upon his death, his generals, the Diadochi, which meant successors in Greek, divided the empire between themselves. After a series of wars over the next few decades, the spoils went to the following victors: Ptolemy took Egypt founding the Ptolemaic dynasty ruling from Alexandria (305BC), Antigonus established the Antogonid dynasty in Greece from Macedonia (306BC), Seleucus established the Seleucid dynasty in Syria and Mesopotamia (305BC), Philetaerus established the Attalid dynasty in Pergamon, in Asia Minor (282BC).
