In your opinion, what were the most significant Greek cultural contributions to history, drama, and the arts, and why do you think as you do?History

The effects of ancient Greece and its advanced
civilization still can be found throughout the world today. After their conquest by the
Romans, their ideas and influences were spread throughout the Roman Empire. Among the
greatest Greek cultural influences
were:

• Philosophy.
  The great Greek philosophers, particularly Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, were the
  first to focus on reason and scientific
  discipline.


• Mathematics. 
  Many theories first advanced by Greeks such as Pythagoras, Euclid and Archimedes are
  still being used
  today.


• Science.  Greeks were
  the first to study astronomy, and Hippocrates is still called the "father of
  medicine."


• Literature.  The
  Greeks made lyric and epic poetry their own. Giants such as Homer and Sappho defined
  their genres, and later writers such as Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripedes refined the
  art of playwrighting, while Aristophanes became the first great comic
  playwright.


• Art and
  Architecture.  Ancient Greece's influence is still seen throughout the
  world, in part due to Alexander the Great's vast conquests that combined the various
  cultures of Asia, India and the Middle East. Greek pottery and sculpture, originally
  meant for everyday use and not specifically for display, is among the most revered in
  the world. Greek architecture, particularly their temples and columns, have been copied
  for centuries.
