A very readable, informative overview of Greek culture and its influence on other cultures. I remember pouring over Plutarch's "Lives" in high school (not assigned- I had odd reading habits). I was convinced everything he said was historically accurate. Of course, over the years I came to realize that not just Plutarch, but all sources have to be regarded critically. Still, that book influenced me and contributed to my lifelong interest in history. Your map is fascinating, in that many of the place names have endured in some form. Although, "Iberia" did puzzle me, enough to prompt investigation. It seems I'm not the only one to be puzzled--people of the Caucasus have also given the matter some thought and looked for a connectionbetween their ancient kingdom and the Iberian peninsula. Very enjoyable piece, especially for a fan of history... best of luck my dear friend @adsactly...upvote and resteemit done.
