How did Greek culture influence other cultures?

Other cultures were influenced by ancient Greek culture because they had established so many colonies throughout the Mediterranean Sea. Westerly at least as far as Sicily and the Southern Italian peninsula, Greek colonies came into contact with other cultures. Many of which were not as advanced as the Greeks and by this they were influenced in a positive way. Greeks also expanded into the eastern parts of the Mediterranean Sea and came into contact with peoples in Syria, Judea among other nations.

In many ways, the conquered Greeks, became a significant influence in ancient Rome. As Rome expanded, it not only brought with them Roman culture but also the Hellenistic culture of Greece.
