Reasons for the resettlement of the Greeks.

In general, as in the period of the entire existence of mankind, the migration of peoples and colonization becomes a consequence of the “land hunger” of the state.

The islands of the Mediterranean and the Northern Black Sea coast seemed to the ancient colonialists to be good prey: mild climate, land capable of fertility, convenient sea communication for trade.
