Scenarios about 'magna graecia'

Magna Graecia refers to the coastal regions of southern Italy and Sicily colonized by ancient Greeks from the 8th to 5th centuries BCE. These settlements became centers of Greek culture, philosophy, and architecture in the western Mediterranean, producing influential thinkers like Pythagoras and Archimedes. In alternate history scenarios, Magna Graecia often serves as a focal point for exploring different trajectories of Hellenic civilization, potential resistance to Roman expansion, or alternative development of Western philosophical and scientific traditions.
