Greek Cultural Contributions

The culture of Greece is one of the pillars of modern society. The Greeks were culturally creators and innovators. The legacy of the Greek culture has had a significant influence on culture today. Greeks produced some of the world's greatest art, the first true science, and some of the greatest philosophers in history. Their most important cultural contribution was the concept of democracy, which is one of the many contributions that the Greek philosophy has given to the current thinking. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle are the most recognized in this field and are the Greek thinkers whose writings have transpired through generations. Interesting, Greeks were able to do all these things despite the fact that they were constantly at war.

In the beginning, the materials used were the adobe walls and wood columns. But from the 7th century (Archaic period), they were replaced by the stone, allowing the addition of a new row of columns on the outside (peristyle). Later in the classical period (V and. IV centuries BCE), the Greek architecture arrived at its maximum height. The Parthenon in Athens is the clearest illustration of this brilliant Greek architectural period.

In addition, the ancient Greeks had made some remarkable contributions in various branches of science. They made some astounding discoveries in the field of medicine, biology, mathematics and physics. The ancient Greeks applied many of the same methods of logic, theory and test towards their work in science. Greeks considered all sciences philosophical; they explained the events of the nature and causes with intelligent and clear arguments. The Greeks had so much so influence in the early concepts of science, that most symbols often used in physics and higher math equations are derived from Greek
