Ancient Greece's greatest contributions to the world
Olympic games- the international sports competition in which almost every country participates in.
democracy- It means rule by the people. Athenian Greeks might have invented democracy but power was in the hands of wealthy merchants. Romans who aspired to the same ideal were also the elite few. Also Rome still had slaves so Rome doesn't have a true democracy. How can there be a true democracy in a society populated by slaves? The British Parliament was born only because King George was forced to share authority with aristocrats. Even the U.S. Senate was ran by only white men until 20th century. How can you have democracy in a multi-racial country with a senate ran by people excluding minorities? Granted, Asians and Hispanics didn't immigrate to the U.S. until mid-19th century. Blacks were still slaves back then until the Civil War, so they couldn't vote and run in public office. Native Americans could not even run any government in their own country. What real democracy has racial segregation and inequality laws? That is why U.S. was not a real democracy until Blacks and other minorities have won participation in the whites-only government in the late 1960's or early 1970's.
Hippocratic Oath: the moral code of medical ethics upheld by doctors today.
Theatrical drama, acting, and comedy (a type of drama).
Philosophies of Aristotle, Socrates, Plato
Ionian, Doric and Corinthian architecture
literary classics such as Iliad and Odyssey, myths, fables, poetry and mythology
