The Greeks are a people who were natives of Greece and other zones of the Mediterranean, such as the Aegean Sea.

For most of their early history, they did not have a unified government, and thus spent time in struggles between neighboring city-states from time to time. It was not until the late republic era that they would be subdued under the authority of Rome, and eventually the romanized greeks would even keep the Empire alive by taking the Eastern Roman Empire and immortalising themselves as the Byzantine Empire, though they still called themselves Romans at the time.

## In The Unbiased History of Rome

### The Roman "Mythology"

Exploiting the kindness of the Trojans, the Greeks declared war on Troy. They sadly succeeded, but some Trojans flee to Italia from Troy.

### The Roman Kingdom

It was revealed that the Tarquinius family had greek lineage and this caused them to feel the need to avenge the "kidnaping" of queen Helena of Sparta by Prince Paris (a complete lie).

This was enough for Sextus Tarquinius (the son of Tarquinius Superbus) to investigated who was the most virtuous woman in the city, a noble woman by the name of Lucretia and after attepmting to break her (in vain); he manage to extort her with lies and rape her.

This was counterproductive against the Tarquinius family as the people of Rome were tired of the barbarian rule, but now with Lucretia's dishonor and subsequent suicide, the Romans had enough and followed the Senate in the position of the monarchy and supported the new Roman republic.

## "Trivia"

* The portrayal of Greeks as uncivilized tribes make it one of the oddities for Unbiased History, even for deliberate bias towards Romans, since many Romans considered Greeks as cultural paragons to the point of imitating their cultures, philosophy, and language despite having conquered their lands, which included their former colonies in Anatolia.
	+ Due to these permeations, Roman Empire after 3rd Century CE would turn towards Hellenic culture, which the Byzantine Empire would see Greek becoming common language even in courts.
* Despite their reputation for philosophy and cultural hub in Mediterranean, one of the major weakness of Greeks was its lack of unity with the closest unifying empire to them being the short-lived Macedonian hegemony under Phillip II of Macedonia and his son Alexander the Great.
	+ Even after Alexander the Great's deaths, Ptolemy's Egypt and Seleucid's Persia are relatively united major powers while the Greek peninsula later broke up into its former city states with the Macedonian's Antigonid dynasty only holding Thessalonian region.
* Due to the satirically bias towards Romans, much of Unbiased History's portrayals are intentionally exaggerated the Greeks as "barbarians".
	+ The Iliad generally portrayed Paris, the prince of Troy, as the aggressor for taking Helen despite her marriage to Menelaus, King of Sparta, which sparked a diplomatic chaos that led to Trojan War.
	+ While Myceneans--Bronze Age inhabitants of Greece--are divided into City States, they are considered a major civilization with sophistication equal to both Egypt and Hittite Kingdom until their downfall and eventual replacement by Dorians in Peloponnese and Ionians in Central Greece.
	+ Even during the early days of Rome, the Greeks were generally considered as major commercial and military powerhouse with their lack of united polity and constant warfare between their kingdoms and cities being a major pitfalls leading to their conquest by Rome.

* Greeks were given more positive bias in Byzantium series, even referring "Greco-Roman" civilization, due to the Eastern Empire's larger Greek and Greek-speaking population.
