What areas did ancient Greece include in the eighth to sixth centuries BC?

Ancient Greece in the 8th-6th century BC included the Aegean Islands, the west coast of Asia Minor, ionian islands and the colonies in southern Italy and Sicily.

Ancient Greece is the open source of western history, which lasted about 650 years (800 BC-65438 BC+046 BC). Located in southern Europe and the northeastern Mediterranean, including the southern Balkans, the west coast of Asia Minor and many small islands in the Aegean Sea.

The main cities are Athens and Sparta.

In the 8th-6th century BC, great changes took place in the Greek world. The first aspect of change is that during these 200 years, the Greeks set out from Asia Minor and the mainland and colonized the east, west, north and south. It was during this period that the classical era formed the Mediterranean Greek world centered on the mainland. On the one hand, the great migration movement of the Greeks met fierce competitors and opponents in the immigrant areas, on the other hand, it was also the result of the military invasion of the Greeks in Asia Minor by the Eastern Inland Empire. Therefore, the Great Migration is of course the overseas expansion of the Greeks, and some of them are "asylum immigrants". The second aspect of change is that Greece has ended the "dark age" of Dorian invasion for hundreds of years. During this period, local countries became city-states and collectivization, and were invaded by foreign enemies from the East. Asia minor, once the center of Greek civilization in the "dark ages", has now lost its central position. The center of Greek civilization and Greek historical events moved back to the mainland during this period, although the central position of Athens was established after the Greek-Persian War.
