14 Spread of Ancient Greek Settlements
In the mid-18th century BC, the Ancient Greeks migrated from the area near the Cephisus River north of Mount Parnassus.
They expanded their settlements to the islands of the Aegean Sea and the littoral regions surrounding the Aegean Sea.
Rather than gradually expanding their settlements, the Ancient Greeks migrated dynamically to distant lands.
Their range extended from the southern Iberian Peninsula in the west, the northern shore of the Black Sea in the north, Egypt in the south, and Cilicia Pedias in the east.
During the 16th and 15th centuries BC, there was active migration between Greeks and Egypt.
However, after the mid-14th century BC, migration between Greece and Egypt ceased to appear in Greek folklore.
After the severance of ties with Egypt, the Ancient Greeks moved toward the Black Sea region and the Italian Peninsula.
There were no powerful opposing forces there.
Asia Minor, which was first settled by the ancient Greeks in the mid-16th century BC, was heavily influenced by the Hittites.
When Hittite power was weak, the ancient Greeks lived on the mainland of Asia Minor, but when Hittite power was strong, they retreated to the islands of the Aegean Sea.
In the 12th century BC, the ancient Greeks carried out large-scale colonization of Asia Minor, once Hittite influence had disappeared.
