Koan, people love to say a lot of stuff about "the Greeks" as though Sparta, Athens and Thebes (to name just three of many cities that used one dialect or another of Greek) had the same culture. Yes, there were similarities, they all had Homeric mythology/religion (but emphasized different gods and had different customs), they had very different ways of living (utterly incompatible in fact), some of what they shared was a love of wealth and power and slavery and they were very warlike.

I don't really care what speculators say about "ancient Greece". They say all sorts of things and much of it is fascinating nonsense.
