I know it's a broad questions but I'm curious to know about their culture, have been watching a lot of Hercules and ancient Greek movies.

Ancient Greek culture was at something of a low ebb in 1000bc, the period known as The Greek Dark Age. This was between the Bronze Age Mycenaean period associated with the Trojan war and the later Archaic period where the city states began to develop and long before the time of the great philosophers and Athenian democracy. Population levels had fallen, daily life was likely quite hard and political entities are believed to have been small and localised. The Mediterranean world had undergone a time known as the late Bronze age collapse which saw a decline in the material culture of the region, including Greece. This is thought to have been caused by a combination of factors ranging from climate shifts, natural disasters, internal dissent and invasions by groups such as the Sea Peoples.

EDIT: Basically little is known about daily life in the period you asked about but there are a wealth of sources out there about the later Classical and Hellenistic periods of Greece.
