Geography of Greece
Greece is a country that borders the Mediterranean Sea. It has many high mountains, rocky ground and islands.
Because of this, there is not a lot of fertile land close together. So to make a living, the Greeks herded sheep and goats on the rocky hillsides. And on the small fertile patches they grew grain and even some olives and figs on trees. In times when there was not enough food, they had to buy it from other places.
Sometimes more drastic measures were needed. They then started a new city in places where there was better soil. This new city, or colony, would have strong links to the old city. Later the colony could trade food with the city from where these colonists originally came from.
You can imagine that because of the high mountains and difficult terrain, trade by land was difficult. So the Greeks used the sea as their highways. They sailed to different lands (like Southern France, Turkey and Italy) to start colonies, to trade or even to fight. This made harbours very important in Greece. Almost every city had one.

Greek Mythology
A Greek myth is a magical story involving Greek gods, monsters and heroes.
The stories are made up but: they have a "life lesson" (be brave, respect the gods, etc.)
they may be based on a true event (for example: the Trojan War)
Until 800 BC these myths were passed on by oral tradition. Later, they were written down.
