تعريف magna graecia في الإنجليزية الإنجليزية القاموس.

(Latin; "Great Greece") Group of ancient Greek cities along the coast of southern Italy. Euboeans founded the first colonies, including Cumae, 750 BC, and subsequently Spartans settled at Tarentum (Taranto); Achaeans at Metapontum, Sybaris, and Croton; Locrians at Locri Epizephyrii; and Chalcidians at Rhegium (Reggio di Calabria). It was a busy commercial centre as well as the seat of the Pythagorean and Eleatic systems of philosophy. After the 5th century BC, most of the cities declined in importance
