The two Ancient Greek cities we know the most about are Athens and Sparta. We think of Sparta as the 'weird' society for being so militaristic, but do we know if Athens was actually what most Greeks would consider "normal"?

I've read that Alexander the Great thought of being Macedonian as being a type of Greek, and historians today argue back and forth about it - but did the other Greeks (ie. Athens, Sparta, etc.) in his day think of him as Greek too?

Ancient Greece had a lot of cities, and they all seems to be wildly different in culture, society, language, etc. Is there any actual major common element between all/most of these cities apart from the fact that they're all one country today?

Why is it that we know so much less about the Minoans and their culture than about the other Greeks?

I've been reading about the Knossos Palace and Sir Arthur Evans' excavations - particularly the fact that a lot of the stuff at the actual site is reproduction. But has doing that really harmed our ability to study the site in any actual way?
