• 
  
  of life that had already been established for Greeks
  在古希腊人建立殖民地之前
• 
  
  before they sent out the colonies.
  就已经存在了
• 
  
  So, that's the chronological significance of it.
  按照时间顺序 事情就是这样的
• 
  
  I should say all of these dates that I will be giving you
  所有我提供的这些时期
• 
  
  are some combination of Greek tradition--
  有一些参考了古希腊的传统记载
• 
  
  and the Greeks dated these colonies very specifically.
  古希腊人对这些殖民地有很明确的记录
• 
  
  That would be hard to believe, impossible to believe, I guess,
  我想 这很难甚至无法让我们相信
• 
  
  if it weren't that these dates tend to be confirmed in a general way,
  除非它不是通过人云亦云地阐释
• 
  
  not in a specific way,
  而是通过一种特殊的方式
• 
  
  by the archaeological discoveries that we find at the sites,
  比如对这些殖民地源头
• 
  
  the earliest places where these colonies came into being.
  现场的考古发现
• 
  
  So it's that combination, archaeology plus Greek tradition
  这是个综合了考古学和不同城邦时期下
