Answer 2

Greece's geography was a primary factor in its development. As an island and peninsular nation in the Mediterranean gave it access to lands and goods around the eastern end of this sea. It's mountains on the peninsula prevented convenient travel between city-states -- so they developed more or less independently.

Greece also assimilated the earlier Minoan and Mycenaean cultures, including their mythology.

The Last Stand of the 300 from the History Channel folks (not the movie called The 300 that was in theaters!!) gives lots of explanation and visuals to help you understand the independence of the ancient Hellenes and their determination not to be under someone else's thumb, so to speak.
