• But outside of Classical Studies, nothing about Ancient or Classical Greece is of importance or relevance as far as the Bible is concerned. It is only when Alexander the Great comes on the scene that an empire is formed, and at this point it becomes relevant to the Scriptures of Truth, because the Greek Empire’s deeds had an important impact upon God’s people, the Jews, and the Land of Israel.
• Greece’s early history started just north of modern Greece today, in Macedonia. We can see from the map that this is a relatively small section of land, and Greece is not a large country. The map also shows the connection with the Persian Empire, showing the Persian Empire as far west as modern-day Turkey.
