  Here are the multifarious periods of the Grecian promontory:

  Helladic Civilization: This period is divided into:

  Early Helladic One: 2800-2500
  Early Helladic Two: 2500-2300
  Early Helladic Three: 2300-2100
  Middle Helladic: 2100-1550
  Late Helladic One: 1550-1500
  Late Helladic Two: 1500-1400
  Late Helladic Three: 1400-1060

  The next period was the Cycladic Civilization found in the Helladic and Ionian possessions, such as the islands of Zacynthus, Cephallenia, Corcyra and the Cyclades. This Period is divided into:

  Early Cycladic Period: 3000-2500
  Middle Cycladic Period: 2500-2000
  Late Cycladic Period: 2000- (Minoan Civilization)

  The next period is the Eteocretan or the Minoan Civilization which was a thalassocracy or naval empire which included Crete and the Grecian archipelago in the Aegean Sea or the Eteokarpathioi of the Dodecanese. This period is divided into:

  3650-3000
  300-2900
  2900-2300
  2300-2160
  2160-1900
  1900-1800
  1800-1700
  1700-1640
  1640-1600
  1600-1480
  1480-1425
  1425-1390
  1390-1370
  1370-1190
  1190-1170
  1100

  The Minoans Civilization was ditrichotomous or subdivided into two parts: Protopalatial and Neopalatial.

  The next period is of the Mycenean Civilization which lasted from 1600-1100 BCE. It is the last Grecian Civilization of the Bronze Age.

  The next period, following the Mycenean Civilization is the Protogeometric Period or the Grecian ‘Dark Ages’ which lasted from 1100-750 BCE.

  The Next Period is the Archaic Period. This period is divided into:

  Early Archaic: 660-580
  Middle Archaic: 580-535
  Late Archaic: 535-480

  The next period is the Classical Period, from the fall of the last Athenian Despot and Basileus: 510 BCE to the battle of Chaeronia: 338 BCE, and Macedonian hegemony in the Amphictyonic Synhedrion: 337 BCE.

  The next period is the Hellenistic Period from 335-146 BCE. In this period, numerous Kingdoms had arisen: the Antipatrid, Lysimachid, Antigonid, Ptolemaic, Seleucidae, Attalid Pergamene Kingdom, Diodotid, Euthydemid and Eucratid Dynasties. Others to rise in this period were the Nabataeans, Himyarites, Epirote Empire under Pyrrhus of Epirus, the Anatolian states, Arsacid Dynasty of Parthia, and Greater Aremnia, previously Urartu and the Mitanni under the Orontid Dynasty.

  The last period I will mention is Byzantine Greece. This period is divided into such:

  300-600: Flavius Belisarius’ campaigns against the Sassanian Persians, Ostrogoths, Asding and Siling Vandals, Carpathians; the tetrarchy

  600-1071: Loss of Byzantino-Normannica relations: lost of the Catapanate of Italy, Helladic and Ionian possessions: 1081-1085, 1107-1108; battle of Manzikert, loss of Anatolia to the Seljuk Turks of Iconium

  1071-1204: Birth of the Latin Empire: 1204-1261, Kingdom of Thessalonica: 1204-1261, Kingdom of Trebizond: 1204-1461, Kingdom of Nicaea: 1204-1261, Despotate of Epirus: 1205-1479, Despotate of Morea: 1205-1479.

  1204-1453: Reign of the Palaeologan Dynasty

  I hope all this information is satisfactory.
