Ancient Greek more notes

Today in Honor's Western Civ we continued in reading pages 118-126 and taking notes on the text and also the power point which we continued today. Here are some of the notes I took on the text about Ancient Greece:
-The sea shaped Greek civilization
-Aegean Sea, Ionian Sea, and the Black Sea were transportation routes for the Greek
-Mountains covered about 3/4 of Greece
-Greeks developed small independent communities within each valley of mountain
-temperatures averaging from 48 degrees to 80
-climate supported an outdoor climate
-Indo-Europeans that migrated to Europe were known as Mycenaens
-In 1500 BC the Mycenaens came into contact with the Minoans
-Mycenaens fought a 10 year war against Troy known as the Trojan War
-Trojan War stories were thought to be completely fictional
-excavations proved they were partly true
-Dorians burned down Mycenaen villages after the culture collapsed
-Dorians spoke a dialect of Greek
-Dorians were not advanced so they collapsed
-Due to the lacking of writing in the Dorian Age stories were told orally
-Homer was a storyteller who told epics
Here are the notes that I took with the Power Point
-Greece is a mountainous peninsula
-Approx. 2000 islands in the Ionian Sea and Aegean Sea
-They had many skilled sailors, shipbuilders, farmers, metal workers, weavers, and potters
-had poor natural resources so they traded
-It was hard to unite greeks because of their mountains
