Answer:
The Greeks aren't farmers because the land is very rocky and not fertile. They can grow some things, like olives, but not many things are able to sprout in the rocky ground. Becoming a sailor is smarter because, in Greece, you are never more than 85 miles from the sea

Answer:
They were built to turn briskly and move rapidly through the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Before ships left harbor, Greek sailors prayed to the sea god Poseidon to keep them safe. The Greeks used their ships to trade with other Greek city-states, as well as other civilizations around the Mediterranean.
