Greek Culture Guide

Hellenic culture has evolved for thousands of years. In ancient times, Greece was the birthplace of civilization in the western world.

Modern democracies owe a debt to the Greek ideas of government by the people, in litigation by jurors, and equality under the law.

The ancient Greeks pioneered many fields based on systematic thought, including logic, biology, geometry, geography, medicine, history, philosophy, physics, and mathematics. They created significant literary structures such as epic and lyric poetry, history, tragedy, comedy, and drama. Pursuing order and harmonies, the Greeks created an ideal of beauty that strongly influenced Western art.
